Staff members at a steak restaurant reportedly left a customer outside after he collapsed at his table, according to the police. The incident involved Jessie Mobley Jr, 34, who fainted at the steakhouse following his meal. Allegedly, instead of seeking help, the employees placed him and his belongings outside a nearby hair and beauty college under the assumption that he was homeless.
The next morning, a student discovered Mr. Mobley’s body near the college in Houston, Texas. Authorities identified him, allowing his father, Jessie Mobley Sr., and step-mother, Renee Mobley, to have a final viewing. Renee described the scene as distressing, noting discoloration and signs of decay on Mr. Mobley’s body.
Local reports mentioned ants on Mr. Mobley’s body, with one side appearing purple. The exact cause of his death remains undetermined. Renee expressed regret over the lack of prompt assistance, urging for a different course of action.
The Houston Police Department stated that if natural causes are confirmed as the cause of death, the investigation will close. The timeline for concluding the probe remains uncertain, as Mr. Mobley passed away on August 7.
Mr. Mobley’s aunt, Charlene Fogg-Drake, questioned the failure to call emergency services and emphasized the need for accountability. In memory of Mr. Mobley, his aunt has placed tributes outside the restaurant, which have been removed multiple times without explanation.
Tragically, Mr. Mobley’s parents have now faced the loss of three children within 13 years, highlighting the profound impact of such tragedies. Renee reflected on Mr. Mobley’s life, recalling his vibrant personality and resilience in the face of challenges.
In a separate incident, a father faced a fatal sand dune collapse in New Zealand, witnessed by his four young children. Despite rescue efforts, the man, identified as Kane, passed away in the hospital. Tributes have poured in following his death, with the heartbreaking news that he had a unborn child who will never meet him.
