Death Of Knox County Nursing Home Patient Reviewed By TBI
Posted on Apr 16, 2009
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is reportedly reviewing the March 2008 death of a nursing home patient as suspicious and is looking into the matter at the request of the district attorney general after the Knox County medical examiner labeled the death as a homicide. The patient died following a nine day stay at the nursing home facility. The autopsy report states that "because of the nursing home neglect, the manner of death is homicide." According to the autopsy report, the patient died of dehydration due to inadequate care following injuries from an automobile accident.
Nursing home neglect and abuse is a horrible problem that happens all too often in Tennessee nursing homes. In fact, Tennessee recently ranked near the bottom (47th out of 50 states) by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services in their nursing home report. Unfortunately, these deplorable statistics represent real people who are affected by the quality of care they receive from the caregivers in whom they place their trust.
