Woman Dies While on Phone with 9-1-1. Cop Chooses to Go to Lunch Instead of Responding to Call

Lee County, FL — A woman is dead, and a deputy is on paid vacation after deciding to go to lunch instead of respond to a 9-1-1 call.

Sheriff Micke Scott thinks his deputy should be fired for not showing up.

At approximately 1:00 pm someone called 9-1-1 and dispatchers say that the person on the other end of the phone was silent. It would later be discovered that it was 47-year-old Gwen Minis calling. She had just gotten out of the hospital after suffering from a heart attack.

Minis’ brother found his sister lying face down with ants crawling all over her body. She had her phone in one hand and a bottle of pills in the other.

It would be nearly an hour before any “help” would show up. Sadly, this would prove to be far too late for Gwen Minis.
