Dr. Martin Luther King Jr not the only person to die at the Lorraine Motel

Dr. King wasn’t the only one to die at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968. 

After he was killed, one of the hotel workers, Lorraine Bailey (who was also the wife of the motel owner and who it was named after), upon seeing King get shot, had a heart attack and later died from this. 

 This was partially why there was such a delay in getting an ambulance as Lorraine was also the switchboard operator and so when Reverend Samuel Kyles attempted to call an ambulance using the phone in the motel room, nobody was at the switchboard to make that happen.
