ELLENWOOD, Ga. -- When Ronald and Patricia Quashie dropped their 19 year-old son Ronald off at his dorm room at Mercer University, they didn't expect to find him dead two days later.

“We went to Macon anyway cause I hadn’t heard from him all day and as we arrived there, so were the ambulances arriving to his dorm and my husband went up and they found him gone -- gone that fast,” said Patricia Quashie.

Roland Quashie, Sr. said, "When we go there the folks over there said he died of an infection, which I didn't quite understand."

Ronald junior died Tuesday on Sunday, his parents took him to the hospital in Macon.

They said the medical staff diagnosed their son with flu-like symptoms, treated him as if he had H1N1 and sent him home.

"It didn't alarm me anymore because I figured we were handling it as if it was H1N1 and they just encouraged him to stay away from everybody, get some rest and stay in bed for two days," said Patricia Quashie.

Patricia Quashie said her son had a temperature of 103 degrees and he complained of being tired.

She said he wanted to say at school, so they left him there and headed back to their home in Ellenwood.

The last time she spoke to Ronald junior was on Monday night.

"Regardless of what really happened to him, it was just his time God called him home," said Roland Quashie, Sr.

They are waiting for the toxicology reports to show if their son had H1N1.
