The parents of former defensive back for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Terrance Howard, have accused Atrium Hospital of trying to kill their son in an organ harvesting scheme.
Howard was struck by a car and later died at the Hospital in North Carolina on August 1st.
The former player suffered a traumatic brain injury and was placed on life support.
According to Howard’s father, Anthony Allen, the hospital “put something in Terrance’s IV to kill him.”
The former football star’s mother, in a video, claimed, “They’re trying to kill my son because they want his organs.”
The New York Post reported:
Former Alabama football player Terrance Howard’s family accused the hospital that treated him for brain damage of “trying to kill him” for the purpose of organ harvesting after he was struck by a car on I-85 in North Carolina in July.
Howard’s parents released a series of videos on social media accusing the hospital that treated him, Atrium Health, of malpractice and organ harvesting.
Howard’s father, Bishop Anthony Allen, alleged that the hospital “put something in Terrance’s IV to kill him” and prevent a transfer to another hospital.
“They told me that they wanted my son’s organs,” Howard’s mother said in a video. “They’re trying to kill my son because they want his organs.”
Howard suffered brain trauma and was placed on life support, but ultimately died on Aug. 1, according to North Carolina Central University.
In response, Atrium Health stated:
“As you know, federal privacy laws are very strict and do not permit us to address specific questions.”
