    SEATTLE —A former manager at Seattle's 911 call center says he was
    wrongly punished for speaking up about problems at work, including a
    practice that remains in use more than a year after allegedly leading
    to a man's heart attack death.

    Brian Smith says he raised concerns about certain addresses being
    flagged as dangerous for first responders based on potentially
    erroneous information about residents — and did so before the practice
    caused medics to wait for a police escort and needlessly delay
    treating heart attack victim William Yurek.
