On April 5, 1998, Douglas Edgell, founder and President of Edgell Communications, Randolph, New Jersey, arrived in Atlanta for a business trip.

Over the next several days, Mr. Edgell made numerous sales calls in the Atlanta area. On April 9, 1998, Mr. Edgell checked out of his hotel room, made two sales calls, then arrived at Hartsfield International Airport for his trip home. While awaiting his flight, Mr. Edgell became ill. He was subsequently treated and transported to South Fulton Medical Center. Mr. Edgell died on April 10, 1998.
