Death By Cereal - Pennsylvania Nursing Home Under Investigation - UPDATE
We discussed the tragic death of seventy-nine year-old Ronald Meyers in previous blogs.
A resident of Cambridge-Brightfield Assisted Living Facility in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, Ronald Meyers suffered severe burns to his lips, mouth, tongue, and throat after nurse aide Alvador Thompson fed him scalding hot cereal on October 8, 2008. Thompson failed to report the incident and it was hours before Mr. Meyers was taken to a hospital for treatment. He never ate again and died two weeks later.
Thompson pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in August 2009 and was sentenced to five years' probation on November 12, 2009.
