A nursing home patient was found dead in a dumpster after wandering from his home at a nearby facility. The man was known to wander and left the nursing home in his wheelchair. He was gone overnight and found in a dumpster, dead. The family is now suing the nursing home for allowing him to wander leading to his death.
Police do not suspect foul play, as the patient died of natural causes. However, the family is holding the facility responsible since he was not in a place of care when he died, and was allowed to wander without more optimal security and prevention. For more, read the story.
