The family of Terrance “T” Howard, a football player at North Carolina Central University, went live on Facebook Thursday while performing CPR on him, alleging that doctors at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte administered something harmful through his IV.
Howard died Thursday at the age of 19. He was a graduate of Ridge Point High School in Missouri, Texas, transferred from the University of Alabama to Durham, North Carolina, to pursue his football career. He had been fighting for his life since a serious car accident on Monday.
According to Click2Houston, which spoke with Howard’s parents, he was involved in a minor crash on I-85 near Salisbury, North Carolina, early Monday morning. After exiting his vehicle to check on the occupants of the other car, he was struck by another passing vehicle, resulting in life-threatening injuries, including severe brain trauma.
The family expressed their desire to transfer Howard back to Houston for better medical care and to be closer to them. They started a GoFundMe campaign to help with their financial struggles.
On Thursday, a dramatic situation unfolded in Howard’s hospital room at Carolinas Medical Center. His father, Bishop Anthony Allen, went live on Facebook, alleging that the doctors “decided to put something in Terrance’s IV to kill him.” Meanwhile, Howard’s mother was seen performing CPR on him, with no medical personnel assisting.
“He has been fine and stable,” Allen said in the video. “The moment we got ready to get him out of here and transfer him, they interfered. As soon as we got the medical records to give over to the doctors they had somebody come in here and put something in his –“
Allen said the medical staff decided they wanted to let their son die and asked them to come and give life-saving measures, but they refused. He also said Howard was having bowel movements and decided not to make a chart of it.
“So, right now they are trying to let him die…they put something in his IV to kill him, said Allen. “Of course, we’re not medically inclined, and the people that we had here who was medically inclined they [doctors] waited until they left and then got in here and did something.”
Allen also alleged that the hospital wanted their son’s organs.
