09 Mar Refusing CPR to dying woman not a crime, police conclude
No crime was committed at a senior living facility where a staff member refused to perform CPR on an elderly woman who later died, Bakersfield (Calif.) police concluded.
The investigation would appear to close the books on the case, which has generated national attention.
Police began their probe Monday into Glenwood Gardens, where a woman who identified herself as a nurse refused to administer CPR to a woman as directed by a fire dispatcher.
