Four Tops Singer Went to ER With Chest Pain. They Put Him in a Straitjacket​

“He could have died,” the lawyer for Four Tops singer Alexander Morris tells Rolling Stone after filing a racial discrimination lawsuit against Michigan hospital

A SINGER IN the Four Tops is suing a Michigan hospital with claims its staff dubbed him “delusional” and placed him in a restraining jacket instead of believing he was a member of Motown’s legendary vocal quartet seeking care for chest pains related to a “severe” heart condition.

Alexander Morris, who is Black, filed his lawsuit in federal court in Michigan on Monday. He alleges the staff at Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital north of Detroit assumed he was lying when he appeared in an emergency room on April 7, 2023, and said he was suffering from chest pain and had difficulty breathing while serving as lead singer for the Four Tops on a national tour with The Temptations. Morris alleges white hospital staff placed him into “a restraining jacket and/or a four-point restraint mechanism,” removed his oxygen and told him he first had to wait for a compulsory psychological evaluation, his 17-page complaint obtained by Rolling Stone says. The suit was first posted by journalist Seamus Hughes.
