“Humble prayers go out to the family, the immediate family, and the employers that were involved,” Kids Nest owner Charles Grant said.

Jamal died on May 21 at a hospital in Brunswick, Ga. Since his death, Action News Jax learned all the employees were not CPR-certified.

“Five people were in the room with him. Of those five, three were certified. They did exactly what they were supposed to do, and I’m proud of them,” Grant said.
