Inquest Clears West Penn Ambulance Timeliness
Coroner McDowell held an inquiry into Patrick O Hara who died at West Penn Hospital after injuries on the Pittsburg Virginia and Charleston road near Homestead. The delay centered on the ambulance call and whether an earlier post was sent by Officer Pender. The hospital's superintendent testified the absence of the regular driver delayed a doctor’s ride. Messages were received at 9 and 10, with two later dispatches after the ambulance began. Verdict: accidental death.
