Former Canton Township 9-1-1 dispatcher Joshua Choroba recalled in a November deposition the moment he realized the volume on the emergency-dispatch system was turned down as employees at Heartland Rehabilitation Center tried frantically to get help for patient Stephen Greene, who had stopped breathing on the morning of March 2, 2018.
Greene died that day from a massive heart attack. The Belleville resident was 69.
Both Choroba and colleague Rachel Rowell were disciplined by the township for negligence related to the muted volume, and the estate of Stephen Greene is suing Canton Township for $6.9 million.
