The family of a Good Samaritan who was fatally shot in downtown Hamilton last month is suing the city's paramedics, among others, for $10 million, saying their failure to properly treat Yosif Al-Hasnawi contributed to his death. The family is also suing the Hamilton police and the hospital where he died, St. Joseph's Healthcare. Al-Hasnawi was taken to the downtown hospital, rather than the regional trauma centre at Hamilton General Hospital, which was closer. Firas Al Najim, a human rights activist, left, and Yosif's younger brother, Ahmed Al-Hasnawi, hold a photo of Yosif at a December memorial. His family members have "recurring ruminations over the horrible way the late Yosif Al-Hasnawi met his death, the terrible agony he endured before perishing," it says.
