His mother, said staff did not properly watch over her son, and he repeatedly gestured for help that did not come.
"Brandon did not receive the appropriate care from (the sleep center). Actually, in my opinion, he received no care at all."
Emory, in a statement, said that Harris died of sudden cardiac arrest and the hospital attended to him appropriately.
Harris' uncle, said the hospital allowed him to watch video footage of his nephew at the sleep center and he said there was negligence in monitoring Harris. The tape showed Harris waving seven times over 40 minutes apparently to draw someone's attention but no one responded, Lewis said.
A nurse responded when Harris removed sensors from his body. Harris walked to a nearby restroom and the nurse left, and he returned to the room and to bed.
Three nurses later entered the room and Harris appeared to be in discomfort. He tried to get up, lost his balance and fell, bringing emergency personnel, the uncle said.
"There is no reason he should have been neglected like that," Lewis said.

This is TERRIBLE! I can't even imagine how his parents feel! When I look at Harris, I think of a little boy, a mother's child/son .... and it breaks my heart!
And NOW ... there's to be NO investigation into this! WHY???
