Johnson was suffering and battling with sickle-cell anemia which was the permanent physical suffering caused by his lifelong battle with the condition. On 20th June 2017, he died at the Spring Valley Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada while hospitalized for complications related to his sickle-cell anemia.
The complaint, which was filed on behalf of the family by The Gage Law Firm, alleges that the Spring Valley hospital breached their duty of care for Prodigy by “failing to maintain a working IV access,” and by “failing to continuously monitor oxygen level” as ordered by physicians on the hospital and those failures led to Prodigy’s death.
