TORONTO — The Ontario Ministry of Health says there was a preventable delay in the response time by Toronto paramedics to an ailing man who died waiting for medical attention.
The ministry released a report Thursday on its investigation into the response to 911 calls placed shortly after James Hearst, 59, collapsed after suffering a heart attack.
It took 38 minutes for EMS workers to arrive and treat Hearst, who collapsed in the lobby of his apartment building at 40 Alexander St., near Church and Wellesley streets, on June 25, three days into the civic workers strike. By that time, he was dead.
