Strangulation Death & Cover Up

Here is a story about a woman nursing home resident in Mt. Vernon, New York who was asphyxiated and died when her head was caught in the bars of her bed after nursing home staff failed to lower the bed as required. http://www.wnbc.com/news/16320692/detail.html Other nursing home staff re-arranged the resident’s body in an effort to cover up their negligence. However, one staff member made an anonymous call to the government regulators to report the incident, and the regulators later investigated and confirmed the report.
