Overview
- Prashant Sreekumar, 44, died on Dec. 22 at Edmonton’s Grey Nuns Community Hospital after his family says he waited about eight hours for care following severe chest pain.
- Relatives say he was given Tylenol, told an ECG showed no major issue, and later collapsed from an apparent cardiac arrest.
- US attorney and YouTuber Andrew Branca called him “another Indian invader of Canada” on X and claimed he could have avoided “shitty Canadian healthcare” by staying in Mumbai.
- The posts drew widespread denunciation on X, and Branca has continued to taunt critics while his prior anti-India comments and calls to deport H‑1B holders resurfaced.
- India’s MEA said Canada should take responsibility for the case, and reports note no official investigation outcome or hospital findings have been released.
