Hospital death may prompt legal action at Olympia Fields
Lawyers for the brother of Henry Taylor say they plan legal action after the 69 year old died at Olympia Fields Osteopathic Medical Center from a potassium chloride dose given with morphine. Taylor's death was ruled a homicide, though investigators seek concrete proof of intent. The case raises end of life ethics questions, with doctors and patient advocates weighing right to die versus safeguards, while prosecutors may demand a rock solid case before charges.
