The November meeting with Marietess Tena Capili's familyBen Capili attempted to organize a meeting with HSC representatives following Marietess's death but was initially told to wait until the autopsy report had been prepared. However, the meeting was held in November and by the time of that meeting the autopsy report was not available. The family did not receive the autopsy report until February 1995. Teresida Tena (Marietess's grandmother) accompanied Ben Capili to this meeting. Sarah Tena declined to attend. Capili said Giddins told them that Marietess's heart was the most complex he had ever seen. Teresida testified that Giddins told them that Marietess had died from fluid in the lungs. She was disappointed that Odim was not at the meeting. Capili said he raised concerns about Odim's ability, to which Giddins responded that he had studied in Boston and Montreal.
