Despite the woman's daughter's pleas that "she's going to die" without medical assistance, a 911 operator in Pennsylvania is now facing a rare charge of involuntary homicide for neglecting to dispatch an ambulance to the woman's rural house, where she subsequently died of internal bleeding.
Leon "Lee" Price, 50, of Waynesburg, was charged last week in the July 2020 death of Diania Kronk, 54, based on Price's refusal to call for help before receiving additional confidence that Kronk would actually go to the hospital.
"I believe she would be alive today if they would have sent an ambulance," said Kronk's daughter Kelly Titchenell.
Price, who also was charged with reckless endangerment, official oppression, and obstruction, questioned Titchenell repeatedly during the four-minute call about whether Kronk would agree to be taken for treatment.
Price was arraigned on June 29 and released on bail.
