Estate attorney opens case over Anamosa woman's death at St Luke's
An attorney for the estate of Nancy Jacobs testified in Linn District Court that her family doctor noted acute personal crisis tendencies before her death by hanging in St Luke's psychiatric ward seven years ago. The suit claims negligence by hospital staff and Dr. Charles Wellso, while defense contends Jacobs was responsible for her own acts and cites a troubled marriage as partial cause. Ball noted the couple were high school sweethearts with a reportedly good marriage despite issues.
