Ten days after Hawkins' death, his family received a letter from the hospital where Hawkins was taken telling them they owed $29,000 for his treatment. The letter said Hawkins was an "indigent patient." Hawkins' parents say their son did have health insurance; they added that they were told he'd died in his dormatory. Hawkins was apparently taken to UC Davis Medical Center where he received "trauma treatment."http://www.sacbee.com/topstories/story/2301084.html
