Hospital patient beaten to de@th in her sleep by violent roommate weeks before her 56th birthday

A Bronx hospital patient was beaten to de@th by her roommate, with a known history of violent behavior. Cynthia Vann, 55, was sleeping in her room at Lincoln Hospital in Mott Haven when she was attacked, causing her to need emergency surgery on Sept. 10, News 12 reported. Vann was at the Bronx Medical Center for liver treatment at the time of the ass@ult. She suffered wounds to the head and remained at the NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln complex for two weeks before she d!ed from her injuries on Saturday, September 27. Its heartbreaking. Im broken inside. Its very difficult. My mom was my support system. She was really all I had, Vanns daughter Taneisha Vann told News 12. She didnt deserve this. No one deserves to be assaulted at a hospital while youre sleeping, the younger Vann said. Youre supposed to feel safe. Vann died of blunt force trauma to the head, the outlet reported, citing the medical examiners office. Her de@th was ruled a homicide. Taneisha Vann blamed the medical center for creating the environment that put her mother in danger. Im angry with the hospital that allowed this situation to happen, she said. She has a birthday coming up on the 9th. Shell be 56 and thats difficult as well. Its just she didnt deserve that, Taneisha said. The post Hospital patient beaten to de@th in her sleep by violent roommate weeks before her 56th birthday appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
