Illinois Nursing Home Beating Death Prompts Lawsuit - UPDATE

As you read in our previous blog, nursing home resident Solomon Owasanoye was accused with beating his roommate to death using a clock radio. On August 14, 2008, Mr. Owasanoye, a dementia patient, pled not guilty to eight counts of first degree murder for the death of Ivory Jackson. Mr. Jackson, 78, died June 23 from his injuries.

The facility where the men resided, All Faith Pavilion, has a history of public health violations, at least two deaths linked to neglect, according to the Illinois Department of Health.
