A nursing home along with its administrator are being sued for allowing a patient to wander from the facility and die. The patient was known for wandering and when she went missing for seven hours fell down an embankment into a pond. The patient was then attacked by an alligator and dismembered. The patient's granddaughter found the remains of her dismembered loved one during a search for the patient with relatives.
She “was shocked and horrified to find the remains of her grandmother’s body floating in the pond where it had been dismembered by an alligator,” the suit says. “Defendants’ conduct was so extreme and outrageous as to exceed all bounds of decency and must be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” the suit says.
