Hidden camera: nurses laughing as WWII veteran dies
Feb 21, 2018 update:
A grand jury indicted the women (three nursing home employees), four years after James Dempsey was found dead in his room at the Northeast Atlanta Rehabilitation Center. Loyce Pickquet Agyeman’s top charge is felony murder; Wanda Nuckles, a nursing supervisor, is charged with depriving an elder of essential services and Mable Turman is charged with neglect to an elder. Following the indictments, warrants were issued for their arrests.
Original post:
A decorated World War II veteran, James Dempsey, 89, of Woodstock, Ga., gasped for air, called for help and hit the call light in Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation Center. A video shows that it took 8 minutes for a nurse to come in, adjust his bed, turn off the light, and leave without checking vital signs.
An hour-and-a-half later three nurses come in. The nurse laughed so hard that she had to bend over and press both hands onto Dempsey’s mattress in a fit of giggles.
Despite one nurse testifying that she did CPR until medics arrived, a video shows she did not perform CPR; she did six chest compressions then stopped.
Initially, Dempsey's family thought he had died of natural causes. But they had installed a hidden camera they feared mistreatment. The video sparked a three-year legal battle. In some state the law may not allow camera installation due to privacy. It is clear that his family would not have known what happened without their own surveillance.
The nurses seen in the video surrendered their licenses about three years after Dempsey's death. The nursing home is Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation. Its Medicare rating is one star, the lowest from the federal agency. It remains open today.
