A new theory of elder abuse …
From the Santa Barbara Independent:
Two years after Manuela Ruiz died from a massive heart attack, her family filed suit alleging negligent and intentional infliction of distress, elder abuse, and conspiracy against pop singer Michael Jackson and Santa Maria’s Marian Medical Center.The civil suit, filed in Santa Barbara County Superior Court onFebruary 15, centers on the day Jackson was admitted to Marian forflu-like symptoms in an apparent attempt to skip out on his childmolestation trial. To ensure the celebrity’s privacy, hospital staffmoved Ruiz, who was on life support after suffering a heart attack thatmorning, to an examination room. After the move – which involvedtemporarily taking Ruiz off a respirator – Ruiz, 73, suffered a secondand fatal heart attack.
