Garth Isfeld died after allegedly being hit on the head with a beer bottle during a North Kildonan house party on Saturday.

Family members are now questioning why paramedics parked down the street when they arrived forcing Isfeld to walk to the ambulance.

"They shouldn't have made him walk anywhere. If it was a head injury they should have been right there, not dragging him," said Isfeld's girlfriend Candy Krasnesky.

Police say the original 911 call came in as a shooting. If emergency crews face the threat of a firearm the ambulance may stage until police say it's safe.

Family members say Isfeld was throwing a birthday party for his 18-year old daughter when an uninvited guest showed up. Isfeld asked the man to leave and was allegedly hit over the head with a beer bottle. 

"I just seen him on the ground and he was rolling his eyes back in" said his daughter Stephanie Krasnesky

"There was so much blood everywhere. I just grabbed a pillow and put it around his head."

Neighbours say the party got rowdy several hours in and people could be heard screaming telling a man to leave.

Police were called to the home in the 200 block of Stuart Avenue around 12:30 a.m. after reports of the attack.

The victim was rushed to hospital where family members say his condition worsened because of blood clots. The 44-year old man was pronounced dead in hospital.

Police have charged 23-year old Darren James Hall with manslaughter in connection with the death.
