Members of Minnesota’s congressional delegation on Tuesday called for further investigation into the death of a Minnesota Marine whose family said did not get timely treatment for a seizure disorder at the Minneapolis VA hospital.

VA records show a neurology exam for Jordan Buisman was rescheduled four days after his death, according to a televised report.

Buisman had been told he’d have to wait almost 70 days to see a specialist at the Minneapolis VA neurology clinic for his epilepsy, which had forced him to leave the Marine Corps. The 25-year-old former corporal died Nov. 26, 2012 — 24 days before his appointment.

Four days after his death, someone wrote in his VA records that Buisman had canceled his neurology appointment and requested a later date, KARE-TV reported.
