“Gasping For Air” – Atlanta Nursing Home Staff Laugh As WWII Veteran Dies After Calling For Help<\/h1>\n

Staff at the Northeast Atlanta Health and Rehabilitation Center laughed as a decorated\u00a0World War II veteran took his last gasps of air after frantically calling for help six different times, according to a shocking new investigation from 11Alive.com.<\/p>\n

The investigation included the release of a never before seen hidden camera video that not only completely contradicted statements given by the nursing home staff but also proved, without a shadow of doubt, that the nursing home essentially let the decorated veteran die as if it were a joke.<\/p>\n

The video is so disgusting that attorneys for the nursing home repeatedly tried to stop its release, going through a series of court battles with the local news station in which they hoped that the media would be ordered to censor the footage.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the judge in the case ruled in favor of actual journalism and the nursing home, after seeing no other possible outcome, eventually dropped their appeal to the Georgia State Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0the 11Alive investigation<\/a>, the news outlet details the fact that a nurse who was on duty at the time directly lied about what actually happened before being confronted with the hidden camera video.<\/p>\n

In the video deposition, former nursing supervisor Wanda Nuckles tells the family\u2019s attorney, Mike Prieto, how she rushed to Dempsey\u2019s room when a nurse alerted her he had stopped breathing.<\/p>\n

Prieto: \u201cFrom the time you came in, you took over doing chest compressions\u2026correct?\u201d
\nNuckles : \u201cYes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Prieto: \u201cUntil the time paramedics arrive, you were giving CPR continuously?\u201d
\nNuckles : \u201cYes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The video, however, shows no one doing CPR when Nuckles entered the room. She also did not immediately start doing CPR.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSir, that was an honest mistake,\u201d said Nuckles in the deposition. \u201cI was just basing everything on what I normally do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

When nurses had difficulty getting Dempsey\u2019s oxygen machine operational during, you can hear Nuckles and others laughing.<\/p>\n

Prieto: \u201cMa\u2019am, was there something funny that was happening?\u201d
\nNuckles : \u201cI can\u2019t even remember all that as you can see.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
