Check the plug please
WHOOPS:::::::::::
EXCERPT::::::::::::::::::
According to Powell's lawsuit, Freddy Clarence Williams was admitted to St. Barnabas Hospital, unconscious, after a drug overdose. The hospital reported that the man had suffered irreversible brain damage as a result of the overdose.
Operating under bad information, hospital officials contacted Powell as the next of kin. She arrived at the hospital and found the man ? who she was told was her brother ? with "a tube in his mouth and a swollen appearance," according to the report.
What happened when the sibling came?
Another sibling visited the hospital and pointed out a problem.
"She walked up into the room and said, 'That is not my brother,'" Powell said, but argued that the man resembled her brother closely enough that the family took the hospital's word at face value.
So, where was her brother?
As it turned out, Powell's brother was not dead, but incarcerated in a city jail.
"I nearly fainted because I killed somebody that I didn't even know," Powell said. "I gave consent."
Alexander Dudelson, a lawyer for Powell, said that neither the hospital nor the medical examiner would tell him anything about the man who'd passed away after suffering the overdose.
Powell has since visited her brother and spoken to him over the phone.
Powell said that when she explained to him that she'd unwittingly given the approval to pull the plug on the man's life support, her brother responded by asking, "'You were going to kill me?'"
