Police arrest 3 employees of Florida nursing home where 12 residents died due to heat in 2017 after the building lost air conditioning during Hurricane Irma.
The center's license was suspended and it closed days after the storm. In October 2017, more than 240 workers, including doctors and nurses, were let go.
Its license was revoked in January after the state's Agency for Health Care Administration issued an order, saying an administrative law judge concluded the center had"created an unsafe environment" for its residents,Investigators said the nursing home did not evacuate patients even as temperatures climbed and a fully functioning hospital was across the street, according to the outlet.
Hashish told the AP he doesn't think the charges have merit."The real crime is that the state is looking to blame selfless caregivers and the evidence will show that no crime was committed,” he said.Associated Press and Ben Kesslen
