A young husband was found dead several days after he did not return home from visiting friends. Through investigation and litigation, we established that the defendant municipality had received a 911 call in the days prior advising of his location and that he was alive but intoxicated. The dispatcher did nothing with the call. As a result our client’s husband died from exposure to the elements. We established that the death was preventable had emergency response personnel been sent pursuant to the dispatcher’s duty to do so.
