A CAT scan showed a large brain clot in Will Benson. A neurosurgeon removed it but swelling left him comatose and brain dead after two days. He remained on life support until Sept 19 to enable liver, kidney, and cornea transplants. His father blamed delays and said earlier ambulance care might have saved him.
