Despite their desire for a substantial settlement from the case, the sons’ primary concern is understanding what led to their mother’s suffocation, as pointed out by DeNoto.
One thing the family wants answered, according to the lawyer, is if the nurse followed the rules for establishing whether someone is dead and whether a doctor confirmed what the nurse observed.
Further, DeNoto said that the case exemplifies a systemic problem with the maltreatment of the elderly in nursing homes.
There is just no justification for transporting a living human being to an embalming business in a corpse bag, the attorney said. As an old lady, she had no one to speak out for her.
She was, regrettably, nearing the end of her life. Everyone experiences it. However, it seems like the decision to move her to a facility was made too quickly, as if she were no longer living.
