A hearing is set to determine the future and fate of a nursing home where 11 of 12 deaths were ruled a homicide. The patients died due to a lack of air temperature regulation after the facility lost power. The patients sent to the hospital were suffering from body temperatures from 107-108 degrees. One emergency worker noted that the facility felt like a car in the hot sun that blasted with heat when the doors were opened.
Nursing home employees waited to call emergency workers and evacuate the patients until it was too late for a dozen of them. A judge will decide if the nursing home will remain open or close based on the events and tragedy that took place following the power loss. For more, read the story.
