His son, Tarrell Green, said the facility's record of what happened is missing key points, including the critical minutes he claims his father was denied medical care.

"What the video would prove is that I was there at 10:05 (AM)," Green said. "I went to get help. I beg and pleaded for help. And I asked these guys come help my father. I didn't want him to die like that."
