Pittsburgh officials are up in arms about the case of a 50-year old man who died after making 10 calls to 911 for help.

Sharon Edge says she and her boyfriend Curtis Mitchell called 911 after he complained of stomach pains on February 6.

Records show that an ambulance was sent to his home three times that day but could not reach him due to snow.

Paramedics also report that they asked the man if he could walk to them four blocks away despite him complaining of excruciating pain.

Sharon Edge says they first called for help around 2 a.m. on Saturday Feb.6 and continued calling until an ambulance finally reached them Sunday Feb. 7 at 8 a.m.

By that time  however Curtis Mitchell was already dead.

The Public safety director for Pittsburgh Michael Huss is outraged by the case and thinks the paramedics should have walked down to the residence to save the man.

“You get out of the damn truck and you walk to the residence. That’s what needed to happen here,”

No word on the status of the EMDs involved.
