ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta area teenager who said a heart transplant two years ago gave him a second chance at life died this week when he lost control of the car he was driving while fleeing police, according to police records.
Anthony Tremayne Stokes, 17, died Tuesday when the car he was driving hit a bank sign, a Roswell police officer wrote in an incident report. The officer noticed the black Honda Accord fit the description of a vehicle involved in a home invasion a short time earlier, the report says. The officer tried to pull the car over, but the driver refused to stop, the report said.
In August 2013, local news media quoted Stokes' family as saying that doctors at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston refused to put Stokes on a transplant waiting list because of his troubled past and their belief he wouldn't comply with the strict plan for medication and follow-up treatment.
Read the comment section at the bottom of the article. There's a lot more to this story. Some people dug up his FB page and shows a thug in the making.
Remember when he was intially fighting to be put on the list and everyone was turning it into a race war and basically forced hospital to change course and he was put at the top of the list. Hopefully, whatever poor kid that was unable to get a heart so this good boy could live another couple years was worth it.
