Relatives of the man who died from the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the U.S. called for an investigation of his hospital care as they expressed sadness and anger over his death.

Thomas Eric Duncan, who died today at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, was initially sent home by medical staff after showing symptoms of the deadly virus that he contracted in Liberia. It was six days after he was admitted for treatment that he received an experimental drug that might have helped him survive, according to the hospital.
