Veterans want answers over two homicides and a string of suspicious deaths at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia
CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – At the center of town, next to the aging stone courthouse, stand several war memorials.
The two elderly veterans — one served in the Army, the other in the Air Force — were killed the same way, with injections of insulin they didn't need. Their blood sugar plummeted and they died a day apart in April 2018. The office of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, has said it learned about the problem in July 2018, a couple weeks after doctors notified administrators of the unexplained deaths. But Manchin said Friday he didn't know until last weekany deaths had been ruled homicides.
'Somebody needs to be held accountable'In the past year, federal agents contacted the families of 82-year-old Army veteran Felix Kirk McDermott and 81-year-old Air Force veteran George Nelson Shaw Sr. and asked to exhume their bodies and conduct autopsies.
