This is very sad. My condolences to the family.
Reading the timeline, I can’t help but speculate that there’s a darker side to this.
Two days before “checking out”, the daughter called the mom to say she was better and was about to leave. Soon after that, something bad happens (possibly malpractice) and she dies. An autopsy would reveal the true cause of death, so the hospital quietly ships her to an off-site morgue, doesn’t even fill a death certificate, and fabricates her checking out.
Now the body is beyond decomposed and an autopsy is impossible. The hospital claims it was a simple mix-up and gets away with a bit of bad press and a negligence charge.
- polartx 2y agoI was reading something recently about pleading the fifth, (like if someone at the hospital was called to testify), I read that in criminal cases, pleading the fifth could not be used against the defendant. However in civil cases, jurors are instructed to assume their refusal to testify would implicate their guilt. I didn’t verify what I read, so take it with a grain of salt.
