Ohio Nursing Home Death Reported by USA TODAY
This is a heartbreaking story. It is a ending that had a chance to be avoided. It is a story where the coroner states it was a homicide, and there is no hiding wha actually caused this woman’s death. The family stated the wound was covered up with bandages so they didn’t know.
