A former 911 dispatcher in Pennsylvania is no longer facing prosecution for involuntary manslaughter based on allegations he failed to send an ambulance to the rural home of a woman who was found dead a day later of internal bleeding.
FILE- Kelly Titchenell sits on her porch in Mather, Pa., holding a photo of her mother Diania Kronk, and an urn containing her mother’s ashes, July 7, 2022. Prosecutors this week dropped an involuntary manslaughter case against a 911 dispatcher in Pennsylvania who had been accused of failing to send an ambulance to the rural home of the woman who was found dead a day later of internal bleeding.
Vanata said she based her decision on an August 2020 memo by Greene County Regional Police Chief Zachary Sams that said Price may not have been trained properly and the investigator felt Price’s actions did not “rise to the levels necessary to facilitate a criminal charge.” Price said he would send an ambulance but then added that “we really need to make sure she’s willing to go.” Price asked Titchenell to call once she got to Kronk’s home, but Titchenell said she could not find her mother’s landline and there was not cell service.
Russo said there was ample evidence and called Vanata’s move to drop the case a political decision. Russo said Thursday the involuntary manslaughter charge had survived previous defense efforts to have it dismissed.
