Lawsuit: Child died because Tampa school waited to call 911
TAMPA — A 6-year-old child died at Seminole Heights Elementary School after he stopped breathing and school staff waited too long to call 911, according to a lawsuit expected to be filed Friday in federal court in Tampa.
The Maher Law Firm, which also represented the family of Isabella Herrera, the Hillsborough child who died following a ride home in 2012 on a school bus, is representing the family of Keith Coty, who died Jan. 17, 2014.
