    They didn’t find out for a whole year. They thought she was missing the whole time.

        You’d think they would have notified someone when the body was being moved if nothing else.

        Like, sure, mixups happen, but it seems like there’s a lot of steps that got skipped here.

    Well, “checked out” has a few different meanings, at least where I live!

    Holy crap. This is absolutely horrific. I can’t imagine the pain her family must have experienced, and continues to experience. I hope the hospital and everyone involved in this cover-up get every book possible thrown at them.

    I mean its fairly clear to me that someone did something awful to that woman that would have somehow made the hospital look even fucking worse than this does and this is them covering it up.

    Murder investigation, anyone? There has to be a reason they did this, right?

      I’m thinking it’s probably hiding malpractice.
