Yet, in a move that baffled many, Belair dismissed these concerns, going so far as to muzzle their own staff with threats of job losses if they voiced their worries about Pressdee’s handling of patients.
The Devastating Downfall
Bower’s health, under Pressdee’s care, faced a rapid decline, resulting in a brief recovery stint at a hospital in September 2021. But after being readmitted to Belair, her health spiraled uncontrollably, culminating in her death on September 28, 2021. The tragic cause? Respiratory failure, so they were told.
Pressdee’s employment was cut short in February 2022 due to her abusive behavior. In a grim revelation in May, she was arrested, charged with the death of two patients at a different institution via fatal insulin doses. A mere year later, Hess was informed of Pressdee’s confession to inflicting the same fate on Bower.
Legal Crosshairs and Reactions
The lawsuit packs a punch, leveling accusations of corporate negligence and wrongful death against the defendant companies. The damages, though unspecified, cover the spectrum from healthcare costs to funeral expenditures.
