Westmoreland County Man's Death Ruled A Homicide After VA Hospital Treatment In West Virginia
Retired Sergeant Felix McDermott died April 8, 2018, at the Loius A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia after he was injected with a fatal dose of insulin while at the center, the complaint said.
He was admitted three days before his death because developed aspiration pneumonia.
McDermott was one of nine or 10 patients at the center that died as a result of unexplained low blood sugar, the complaint reads.
The complaint said each person received a large and wrongful injection of insulin in the abdomen that wasn’t ordered by a doctor or medically necessary.
“It’s all very disturbing that people can serve their country that are being killed either extremely negligently, grossly negligently or intentionally,” the McDermott family attorney Tony Odell said.
