78 year-old Virginia Cole died suspiciously in September 2006, just two months after she moved into her nursing home in Woodstock. When a probe opened up over as many as six suspicious resident deaths, and the facility’s nursing director and one of its nurses were arrested earlier this year on criminal neglect charges, we posted on holding the nursing home accountable for any wrongdoing. Now it looks like that might happen.
On Friday, Virginia Cole’s daughter filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Woodstock home and its indicted employees. Even if we never find out what really happened to the other residents who died, hopefully this lawsuit will expose the truth about why Virginia Cole died so unexpectedly and bring peace of mind to her family.
