California Man Suffers Severe Neglect, Dies at Unlicensed Board and Care Facility

On July 1, 2009, emergency responders received a call about a dependent adult at an unlicensed board and care home in Solano County, California.

Sixty-two year old Charles Frank was a ward of the state and reportedly died at Sutter Solano Hospital from starvation and dehydration. His autopsy found evidence of severe neglect.

On May 26, 2010, after an investigation, the care home's manager and business owner were arrested. Patricia Ronquillo and Gene Bambo were booked into the Solano County Jail on $25,00 bail each. Police expect to make more arrests in the case.
