Entrepreneur dies waiting to get on wife's healh insurance [View all]
http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/voodoo-taco-founder-eric-newton-dies-at-he-barged-into/article_a73b92dc-25e5-11e7-9cdc-d790e0245f08.htmlEric Newton, the founder of Voodoo Taco restaurants, lived with gusto and died last week at middle age.
Newton suffered a heart attack in his northwest Omaha home April 13. His 12-year-old daughter, Emma, called 911 and did chest compressions, but Newton was declared dead in the hospital soon after.
Newton, 45, helped create the Voodoo Taco chain in Omaha but had removed himself from operations and sold most of his ownership interest. He was working on a new restaurant concept when he died.
His wife, Colleen, said he had felt ill for weeks but wanted to wait until the health insurance at her job kicked in next month before he went to a doctor.
