Recently released autopsy results on 63 year old Thomas Donovan, a resident of Burnham Healthcare, revealed that Mr. Donovan was murdered. It appears that Mr. Donovan died at on April 1, 2009 from multiple injuries suffered during an assault. A nursing home supervisor advised that Mr. Donovan had gotten into an altercation on April 1 at 9:00 p.m., but did not say if the altercation was physical. It appears it must have been physical at some point as Mr. Donovan was taken to South Shore Hospital with a contusion on his face and died from multiple injuries suffered during the assault. Illinois State Police are investigating the matter.
