FARMINGTON ( AP) — Maine state authorities investigating the death of a Canadian man who died en route to the hospital after a skiing accident at Sugarloaf resort in January have cleared two responders.
Maine Emergency Medical Services, a division of the state Department of Public Safety, launched an investigation into the Jan.12 death of 41- year- old David Morse of Harmony, Nova Scotia, after his wife complained about the care he got in an ambulance on the way to Franklin Memorial Hospital.
Agency Director Jay Bradshaw tells the Morning Sentinel that complaints were dismissed against two North- Star ambulance employees because they arrived at the scene at the end of the call and did not participate in patient care. He did not disclose names.
He says the investigation continues.
