An Alabama man with a heart condition, 73 year old Ray DeMonia, died on Sept 1st after his family was unable to find an open ICU bed.
His family says they reached out to 43 hospitals in three states before they could find one that wasn't filled up with COVID-19 patients.
In his obituary, the family wrote: 'In honor of Ray, please get vaccinated if you have not, in an effort to free up resources for non COVID related emergencies.
That is incredibly sad.
