Coroner who investigated Ezekiel Stephan’s death becomes visibly frustrated in court
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Dr. Bamidele Adeagbo appeared in the Lethbridge court house via video Thursday for the second of his three-day schedule.
He was the coroner who looked into 19-month-old Ezekiel Stephan’s death after he arrived at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in March of 2012.
Dr. Adeabgo was questioned by David Stephan, Ezekiel’s father. Stephan asked if factors such as Ezekiel’s blood pressure and oxygen levels were taken into consideration when coming to the diagnosis that he died of bacterial meningitis.
The doctor affirmed that medical professionals, as they always do, considered every possible factor before arriving at their conclusion.
