Two employees of a suburban nursing home face felony charges in connection with the death of a 96-year-old woman, who died after being left inside of a van on a night when temperatures dropped well below freezing.
According to prosecutors, the resident was transported to an area hospital for medical attention on the afternoon of Feb. 2, 2021. Upon returning from the hospital, the bus driver is alleged to have failed to make sure that the woman, who was wheelchair-bound, was off the bus before parking it in a back parking lot for the night.
