LONDON - A young Jehovah's Witness died after a roller blading accident because her family refused to let her have a life saving blood transfusion, an inquest heard yesterday.
A doctor said he pleaded with her family to allow her a transfusion which would have given her a 90 per cent chance of survival. Emelie Grootjes (19), a Dutch student, broke both legs after she lost control of her skates going down a hill on July 31st at Lockley Park caravan park, Hamworthy, Dorset.
