Two hospital workers in West Virginia have been charged in connection with the death of a 61-year-old non-verbal man. The incident occurred last year when the patient was left submerged in a scalding bath for 47 minutes. Investigators reported that the water temperature was approximately 134 degrees Fahrenheit. The nurse involved allegedly failed to check the water temperature gauge, which contributed to the patient's death. The charges were confirmed by Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, highlighting the serious nature of the incident at the state-run facility.
