| Michael Jackson Sued As Cause Of Woman’s Death |
Michael Jackson just can’t seem to find his way out of the court room. After being found ‘not guilty’ of child molestation charges, The King of Pop now finds himself being sued by the family of an elderly woman who was moved from her hospital bed to accommodate the star.
The civil complaint was filed Thursday, on the two-year anniversary of the death of 73-year-old Manuela Gomez Ruiz.
According to TeenHollywood, the eight children of Ruiz filed the suit, alleging Jackson and celebrity-obsessed hospital staff moved their mother out of her death bed and tormented her family.
The lawsuit claims she was “treated like cargo” and roughly moved from her emergency room bed when Jackson arrived at the hospital complaining of abdominal pains during his child molestation trial.
The Thriller singer demanded two beds after going to the Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, California on February 15, 2005.
Gomez died later that night, just after being moved. Her family is accusing Jackson and the hospital of inflicting emotional distress and of negligence, elder abuse, false imprisonment and conspiracy.
The hospital’s response: “The most recent complaint appears to be another frivolous claim to generate publicity. Patient care and safety is always our first priority at Marian. As such, we are confident the care provided to Mrs. Ruiz was exceptional.”
Michael Jackson’s lawyers and reps have yet to comment on the most recent allegations. |
