Dying Man Gets no Help on SEPTA
Driver was told to continue despite unresponsive man

PHILADELPHIA. A SEPTA bus driver is outraged that an elderly passenger
died aboard her Market-Frankford Line Nite Owl bus early Sunday morning
after both the control center and a supervisor told her to finish her
route.
The incident began around 4 a.m. Sunday morning at 69th Street Terminal
when the driver noticed that the man was unresponsive, had urinated on
himself and was drooling. She called the control center, which told her to
run the route because they did not want to "delay service," according to
an incident report.
At 15th Street, a supervisor got on board the bus, checked the man and
told the driver he was breathing but unresponsive, then instructed her to
continue to the Frankford Transportation Center where police would meet
her. Roughly 40 minutes later at the terminal, Leonard Sedden, 68, was
pronounced dead from heart failure and drug intoxication.
"It just boggles me that I was riding around and he was deceased and other
passengers were getting on," said the bus driver, Natika Manfra, who has
driven for SEPTA for almost two years. "Could I have done anything to save
him?"
<snip>
Transport Workers Union Local 234 said it plans to file a grievance.
"All this time this guy was in the vehicle and nobody gave him any
attention?" said union president Willie Brown. "We could have saved this
guy's life possibly."
