A man collapsed at a Texas steakhouse, but instead of dialing 911, employees dumped his body outside and left him for dead, according to police.
Just a week before his 35th birthday, Jessie Mobley, Jr., dined at KFFO Afro Steakhouse in Houston - but he never made it out alive.
Mobley ate a meal at the restaurant, known for its West African cuisine, on August 7 before suddenly passing out at the table.
Staff then picked up the man, who they believed was homeless, and placed him and his belongings outside a local beauty school, according to police records obtained by the Houston Chronicle.
The workers did not call the police at all to report the incident involving Mobley, a department spokesperson told the outlet.
It wasn't until the following morning that Mobley's lifeless body was discovered by Andrea Arbelaez Sarrazola, a beauty school student who was left terrified when she saw him collapsed against a wall.
A puzzled Sarrazola wasn't quite sure what to do, but when she saw that ants had crawled on Mobley's ears and one side of his body was purple, she immediately called for help.
Mobley's family were soon notified of his death, leaving his father, Jessie Mobley, Sr. and his step-mother, Renee Mobley, to see him one last time.

How many homeless people out there are buying steak dinners?
Free Republic can’t grow and attract decent people if there are posts like yours.
Here’s the menu of what you can order and eat. Which dish killed him?

Think of the reviews by the diners who survived! What kind of reviews do you think they would write? How many stars?
He had the fish
AFRO Steakhouse?????
To keep with African culture they should have thrown some old tires on the corpse and light it on fire. Then, eat the crunchy bits.
This story has suddenly made my wife’s cooking taste better.
I didn’t go to the link, but the author seems to have omitted info on things like:
What did the man die of?
Any relationship to the food? Choking? Poisoning? Extremely hot peppers causing heart failure?
Had he paid for his dinner? (i.e, was he penniless or had he money?)
What does the toxicology report say was in his system?
Was he loaded up with fentanyl?
Was he already dead when placed outside, or just passed out?
Likely time of death?
Was he actually a “street person” or was that just the staff’s peception? (Lots of “homeless” have parents and places they could be if they chose.)
Can we make reservations for this restaurant through the coroner’s office?
That is a terrible thing to say.
My first reaction was to think: This staff is coldhearted. The restaurant should be shut down, and the staff should be charged with a crime.
But, on second thought, maybe the staff thought this man passed out from drunkenness or drugs, so they booted him outside. Since the restaurant serves free food to the homeless, they probably kick people out pretty often, and they don’t call 911.
If only they’d called 911, they might have saved him.
There are lots of insensitive and outright racist comments here of late, to our shame.
We’re in a race war whether you like it or not.
