Sounds like someone didn't take his symptoms seriously, and he should have gone to a hospital to get checked out. Did he state "I'm fine, it's happened before", or should they have called an ambulance at that point? I tend to think so. That was the start of his medical emergency. Had he been in the ER he would probably have survived. He should not have taken the second flight. The guy was not thinking clearly.
