After being denied critical information regarding how a 71-year-old man, reported missing from his Miami nursing home, was found more than a week later dead in a closet, the family has sought legal help from Gold & Gold for answers.

In an interview with the local CBS affiliate, Philip A. Gold, partner at Miami’s Gold & Gold, P.A., says, “We don’t really know what went wrong here. What we do know is that what happened is unacceptable. There’s an obvious negligent lapse in supervision.”

The family has served a wrongful death Notice of Claim. Gold & Gold, P. A. is actively pursuing additional information from the nursing home, including surveillance footage and other details surrounding the incident, to ensure the family receives answers and fair compensation in what appears to be a case of nursing home negligence that led to the tragic death of a resident.
