SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Brandon Harris, who was overweight and taking medication for Type 2 diabetes, died just hours after checking into the hospital's sleep center, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday.

"He was just in for a sleep study", his mother, Renee Lewis, said. "He was not sick. He was fine."

Harris' uncle, John Lewis, said the hospital let him view a video taken of his nephew. Lewis said his nephew appeared to be struggling for breath and tried at least seven times to summon help by waving to sleep center employees.

Hospital officials said Harris' death on Jan. 22. was caused by his medical condition.

"The care he received while at Emory was appropriate given his medical condition", the hospital said in a statement. "We have and will continue to address the family's questions and concerns."
