No Evidence

Allira too remembered the night at the party and the incidents that she didn’t pay attention to then, now she regretted not knowing it if she had any idea and then she might have tried to stop it from happening. But it was just a wild guess that he might have swallowed it. Was it true or just a random guess?

Unanticipated Event

After fighting from the disease David, unfortunately, died one week later in the operating room. The doctors did everything they could but still couldn’t save him. The family was in the trauma from the sudden demise of David. Allira just had the shock of her life but she said.“I didn’t want him remembered like this, I want to remember the happy times.”

Theories

Even after David died, there were many speculations that didn’t rest as his body in the coffin. There were numerous people present when David took the challenge but none of them were sure if he had swallowed the gecko or just pretended to take it in the mouth.

Doctor’s Perspective

Allira wouldn’t just let it go and tried every bit to find the truth. They even questioned the doctor’s treatment. “His testicles were swollen up to grapefruits and there was fluid leaking from them and they (doctors) said that was normal,” she said. She even remembered the first time that the paramedics refused to take him to the hospital as they thought it was just the gastro problem and they had to literally beg to take him.

Controversies

The family felt that David wasn’t given the right treatment. His wife said in an interview “It was like they didn’t really care. The moment he got moved into the intensive care unit, that’s when they got serious.”Hannah, his sister added “We also asked why they didn’t give him a catheter and they said they didn’t think of that. We had to ask for pain relief for David…He was put into a coma because they couldn’t control his pain,We never really got to say goodbye to him.”

Statement By The Hospital

The Mater hospital in which David was entered said it was hard to comment on Mr. Dowell’s death was tragic and it seemed as “basically rotted from the inside out.”They too gave a condolence statement, “Mater offers its deepest condolences to the family of Mr.David Dowell. Mr.Dowell’s case was referred to the coroner, who determined Mater had provided appropriate care and no further action was required. Mater is unable to comment further on the case due to patient confidentiality.”
