NAPLES, Fla. — A grieving Naples father publicly confronted Collier County’s EMS chief Wednesday, calling for his resignation over the death of his son.
A communication breakdown last December resulted in an ambulance waiting 5-6 minutes before ever leaving the station after being dispatched to Charles Minard’s home. His son, who was in cardiac arrest, died a week later.
Since then, Minard has been fighting for answers. The last time he came face to face with EMS Chief Walter Kopka was in February. Kopka had arranged for the two to meet privately. The meeting ended with Kopka kicking the family out and calling the cops. “I would like to know why you called the cops on me,” Minard said at a public meeting Wednesday.
