When the hospital wouldn't accept his body, firefighters took him back to the Fire Department. According to the city's investigation, firefighters placed his body on the floor and practiced intubation.
Of the eleven people who practiced, two were office workers, according to the investigation.
Ginn, filed a claim against the city for $200,000.
"I just don't want this to happen to somebody else. I don't want somebody to deal with this kind of pain, ever." said Ginn.
The younger Ginn settled with the city earlier this month for $75,000 and a promise the department would change its policies and procedures.
