Scott Quiner, a Minnesota man whose wife sued over a hospitalās plan to take him off a ventilator months after he was diagnosed with covid-19, died Saturday. He was 55.
Quiner died at the Houston hospital where he was flown for care during the legal battle, according to Marjorie Holsten, an attorney for the family. He remained on a ventilator at the time, Holsten said, but she declined to identify the facility or provide additional details on the circumstances of his death.
The familyās ordeal drew national attention this month as
surging coronavirus cases
overwhelmed hospitals across the United States.
Doctors planned to take a covid patient off a ventilator. With 48 hoursā notice, his wife got a judge to stop them.
āOn behalf of the family of Scott Quiner, I would like to thank the public for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time,ā Holsten said in an email to The Washington Post. āThe family now requests privacy while they grieve the loss of their beloved husband and father.ā
Man wasn't vaccinated got COVID

Worst part was, he hogged up an ICU bed for weeks when doctors said he should be unplugged.
Do you think he should've gotten vaccinated?
