A Kentucky college student found unresponsive in her dorm room with deep lacerations and bruising was not breathing for 23 minutes — and her parents are demanding answers to the now-months-long investigation into what happened.
Isabella Willingham, 21, a student at Asbury University, was rushed to the hospital Nov. 27 and placed in intensive care due to the severity of her injuries, according to Lex18.
Willingham’s parents, who had not heard from her for hours after she returned to campus after Thanksgiving, received a worrying phone call from her dorm resident director.
“At 11 that night, we get a call from the resident director of her dorm, and she tells us that Bella is in an ambulance on her way to the emergency room, that she had been found unresponsive on the floor of her room by her roommate,” her father, Andy Willingham, told the outlet.
Paramedics told her parents their daughter had stopped breathing for 23 minutes.
