Duncan’s liver function had been improving, and he was receiving the experimental drug brincidofovir. He was on a ventilator receiving kidney dialysis.
Duncan’s journey to the hospital bed began when he helped the pregnant daughter of a neighbor in the housing complex where he lived in Liberia, to the hospital. The expectant mother was convulsing and sick with symptoms that are the hallmark of Ebola. When the hospital, which was already full of patients, turned them away, Duncan and the woman’s relatives rode in a taxi back to their home, Duncan sitting in the front. All helped to carry the woman back to her room, where she died. Four days after helping his neighbor, Duncan boarded a flight to Brussels, where boarded another flight to Washington, D.C., and eventually to Dallas. All who were in the car that day, including Duncan, have now died as well.
