DURBAN – A woman seen screaming for help in a viral video filmed at a Durban hospital has died. Her family have since confirmed that they are seeking legal advice on how to handle the matter.
Rowena Hawkey, 69, was admitted to the Wentworth Hospital last week after she encountered breathing problems and her asthma pump was of no help.
Hawkey s nephew, Allon Pretorius, said Hawkey s daughter, Teresa, left her at the hospital after she was admitted and did not hear from the hospital again.
He said Hawkey died on January 6, shortly after the video was recorded.
