Wichita Man Left Stranded at Orlando Airport
A Wichita man who had a stroke on a bench inside the terminal of Orlando's International Airport was left there for three days. Email Address: news@kake.com |

A 72 year-old Wichita minister who traveled to Orlando earlier this week was left on a bench inside that city's airport for three days. Nobody realized that Kenneth Davis, the pastor at Wichita's Immanuel Outreach Center had suffered a stroke.
Davis got off his plane and asked for a wheelchair because he wasn't feeling well. A skyhop took him to a bench at the front of the terminal, where Davis got out of the wheelchair and sat down.
That's when he had the stroke. He sat there, and sat there... and sat there. Everybody just kept walking by, not even noticing that Davis was incapacitated.
After his children back in Wichita didn't hear from him, they filed a missing persons report with Orlando Police.
Then, finally... someone noticed. Davis was still sitting on the curb-side bench at the Orlando terminal. His pants were soiled. He was severely dehydrated.
Davis is now in an Orlando hospital where officials say he should recover.
