As a result, he went into a coma and died several weeks later.In addition to being a principal, Nelson was an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve and had been a member of the reserve for 20 years. He also had a five-year-old daughter with Braker, and the couple planned to get married on June 29.The lawsuit claims Nelson suffered from a number of health issues, which complicated bone marrow donations, including that sleep apnea, which meant he could not undergo general anesthesia. Despite that, he was placed under a local anesthetic during the procedure, but the lawsuit claims hospital staff kept giving Nelson anesthesia when his oxygen levels dropped, and failed to give him additional oxygen.
