ThisIsLondon: Hospital manslaughter inquiry after patient dies begging for water (08.03.10)
Kane Gorny, 22, was so desperate for a drink that he rang police from his bed begging them to intervene.

They arrived at St George's Hospital in Tooting, only to be told by doctors everything was under control. But when his mother Rita Cronin found him the following day, he was delirious and died hours later.

Homicide detectives are investigating and it is understood they are examining the possibility of a corporate manslaughter charge against the hospital.



En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma

people need to go to jail for this.

The march of civilizations is a series of defenses that man has put up against the dread of pure existence.

The police should certainly have met with the guy who called them rather than leave when told "everything was ok"

The social workers excuse. I'm not actually sure what their legal position might be.
