I heard that since Selena was a Jehovah's Witness she refused to get a blood transfusion & that the doctors thought that since she didnt want a transfusion that she didnt want medical help & I guess they just let her die??? Im not too sure about & I need some details please!

No, Selena died because she was shot by a criminal.

Selena was a Jehovah's Witnesss. However, that is not the reason she died. When the bullet entered Selena's right shoulder (from the back) it severed a main artery. She had nearly lost all of her blood before she even arrived at the hospital. Not even a blood transfusion would have saved Selena's life.
Her father addressed this issue before during an interview. He was asked if he would have denied Selena a transfusion and he replied that even though his faith wouldn't allow such, he would have done anything to save his daughter, including giving her a transfusion.

Well Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in blood transfusions, but that would not be a decision the doctors would make. The doctor would have to have written instructions against blood transfusion or the next of kin would have to refuse it. I don't know if that happened in Selena's case (i thought she was catholic), but it would have to be more than just the doctors "thinking" she didn't want a transfusion.

I highly doubt she was a Jehovah's Witness.
