Texas Nursing Home Resident Found Dead Outside Facility
Edna May Sides, an 85 year-old Alzheimer's patient, lived at Hillside Plaza Nursing Home in Wells, Texas. Staff members found Ms. Sides dead outside the nursing home facility around 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 15, 2009.
By the time her family was notified, Ms. Sides' body had been moved and a post-mortem clean up had been performed. While the nursing home treated Ms. Sides' death like a normal passing away, her family was suspicious and contacted the Wells Police Department, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department, and the state Attorney General's Office with concerns. While officials do not think Ms. Sides suffered foul play, they do believe there was possible negligence and are trying to determine who was responsible for ensuring Ms. Sides' safety.
