Pickering's medical history reveals no record of epilepsy. "He's been the picture of health," said Dr. William Kadon of UHS, who later examined Pickering. He speculated that the cause of death may have been a heart attack. The exact cause, however, has yet to be determined.
Several students of the class are upset over the death and one has sent a letter of protest to the director of UHS. He complained of the delay and the lack of established emergency procedures.
Dr. Sholem Postel, assistant director of UHS, called the charges of delay "exaggerated." He did say, however, that an undermined amount of time was lost in handling the call because it was not received at UHS's emergency number.
Police and UHS officials were not in agreement as to the proper emergency procedure that should have been followed.
Spokesmen for both the police and the UHS said that its own organization should be contacted first in the event of a medical emergency.
