A Nigerian, identified as Gunseye Adekunle, 50, of New Jersey, collapsed and died on July 13 at the JFK International Airport in New York.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quotes local media as reporting that the man died after suffering a heart attack at Terminal 4 of the airport while preparing to board an Arik Air flight to Nigeria.The two teams of first responders failed to reach him because their electronic identity cards could not open the secure doors at the newly renovated Delta terminal.
“A call went out for help but what happened next was a massive mix-up. You had all the assets needed to keep this guy alive, but they never really had the chance to help him.“A Port Authority police emergency operator got the call at about 6:30 a.m. and was told Adekunle was “unresponsive” but breathing.“One minute later, a PAPD ambulance known as Medical One was dispatched but the crew reported being unable to enter the terminal from the street two minutes afterward because an officer’s security card wasn’t working.“The trouble delayed the Medical One team for two vital minutes, but then they were able to get into the building by another route and get to Adekunle,’’ the media quoted a law enforcement source as saying.
It stated that the second rescue squad also ran into frustrating issues with security doors.“At about 7:10, the Fire Department responders were denied entry when the security system refused to recognise an identity access card used by a PA cop escorting them.“The delay robbed the dying man of more precious seconds.“Seconds are critical when responding to a cardiac event and unfortunately, unnecessary obstacles take away those critical seconds and possibly a patient’s fighting chance,” the media also quoted a source familiar with the incident as saying.The North America Correspondent of NAN, however, learnt that no family member has come for the deceased.

Man becomes the richest in the world as Paypal mistakenly puts $92QUADRILLION in his bank account
Huge sum ... PayPal account showing $92quadrillion
A PR exec was made the richest man in the world when he had $92QUADRILLION deposited in his bank account.
The ridiculous sum of money was accidentally put in his account by website PayPal.
When Chris Reynolds opened his June PayPal e-mail statement, something was off.
The Pennsylvania man's account balance had swelled to a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800 (the equivalent to £92 thousand billion) - making him the world's only quadrillionaire.
The deposit momentarily made Reynolds more than a million times richer than Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim - who is worth $67billion.
PayPal unfortunately withdrew the money - but paid Reynolds a fee for his troubles.
Mr Reynolds said "It’s a curious thing; I don’t know maybe someone was having fun."
He continued that if the amount had been genuine he "probably would have paid down the national debt" and then bought the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team.
PayPal admitted: "This is obviously an error and we appreciate that Mr Reynolds understood that this was the case."

Cory Monteith Cause Of Death Confirmed By Toxicology Report As Lethal Mix Of Heroin, Alcohol
Cory Monteith's cause of death has been confirmed as a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol, TMZ reports.
The British Columbia Coroners Service revealed Tuesday that Monteith died of a mixed-drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol. The investigation into his death is continuing and no other details are available at this time.
In the report, the British Columbia Coroners Service adds, "It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident."
It was previously reported the toxicology results could take several days. However, the results were expedited because of the extreme public interest in the case, according to E! News.
The "Glee" star was found dead in a hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in downtown Vancouver on July 13 after failing to meet checkout time. Hotel staff called paramedics, who later declared him dead on the scene. He was just 31 years old.
