Family battles Utah hospital in court over man's life, considered brain dead after being run over by truck
OGDEN, Utah — An Alabama man is lying in a Utah hospital bed on life support. The hospital says he is brain dead, while his family says he’s alive.Casey Durham was visiting Utah when he was run over by a truck in Ogden on June 13.
Friday in court, Montgomery's lawyer called an expert witness who said Durham was pumping his own blood and doing other bodily functions on his own. Brandon Hobbs, a lawyer for Intermountain's McKay-Dee Hospital, tried to discredit the witness from Ohio, saying the doctor doesn’t believe in brain death at all and only has experience in pediatrics.
The hearing ran from 1-5 p.m., and they’re scheduled to continue on Aug. 15. Durham’s family says that’s great news for them as they try to find another facility to take him.
