Unfortunately this is typical

A witness testified yesterday that he had been struck by the lack of urgency by police and an ambulance team in tending to a transgender entertainer who was fatally injured near 16th and Walnut streets in December 2002.

The witness, who asked not to be identified, said he was driving on Walnut Street about 3:30 a.m. on Dec. 22 when he came upon Nizah Morris, 47, lying in the street in front of a stopped car.

The witness said he thought the car had hit and killed her because she didn't appear to be breathing and no one was tending to her.

"Morris' family sued the city and Police Department, claiming her death had been caused by a chain of negligence, and won a $250,000 settlement"

At least I'll be worth something to sombebody when I'm dead.
