Parents of student beaten to death on campus billed for resuscitation efforts
By Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The parents of a California State University, Sacramento student who was beaten to death by a dorm mate were still reeling with shock when they received another jolt.
Gerald and Elizabeth Hawkins say 10 days after their son Scott died, they got a bill for $29,186.50 from UC Davis Medical Center. The bill from the hospital details the hospital's effort to revive the 23-year-old student. The parents say the bill also implied that they were indigent, saying they hadn't paid what they owed. A spokeswoman for the hospital says the bill was a mistake - it should have gone to an insurance company. The 19-year-old suspect is hospitalized in fair condition. He was shot by police and will likely be booked on charges of murder when he recovers. |
