Caretaker role dominates probe of disabled deaths in state care
Albany reports show the Justice Center investigated only six of 1,381 deaths of developmentally disabled people in state care from 2013 to 2015, with 1,371 cases left to caretaker facilities. Officials defend these figures noting most deaths are natural and that abuse probes occur where warranted.
