Description
Scott Winslow, from Holbrook, Massachusetts, died after he was in intensive care at a hospital in Fiji for weeks.
Winslow was sailing through the South Pacific when he got an infection that led to an embolism in his lung. His family said his insurance company, Aetna, denied the transport and the medical flight to get Winslow home, which would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Before Winslow died, WBZ-TV reached out to Aetna. In a statement, a spokesperson said they were continuing to work with Winslow's family "and his providers in Fiji to identify the best way to get him back safely to the United States for continued treatment."
