Pa. State Police investigating death of dialysis patient in Chester County
Troopers were requested on June 16 in Atglen Borough after paramedics responded to a medical emergency involving a person using a dialysis machine.
The Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the death last week of a person in Chester County whose connection to a dialysis machine apparently had been “cut.”
On June 16, troopers from the Embreevile Station were called to the 400 block of Glen Run Drive in Atglen Borough, where paramedics responded to a hemorraging incident but was unable to save the person’s life, the state police said Tuesday.
The preliminary investigation “determined the hemorrhaging was the result of a dialysis port being cut,” the state police said.
The state police are investigating in coordination with the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.
No other information about the deceased person were released.
