An elderly woman has been arrested in a German hospital after turning off another patient’s ventilator twice.
Police and prosecutors said in a statement that the suspect, 72, is alleged to have switched off a 79-year-old woman's ventilator and, despite then being told by staff that it was vital for the patient, switched it off again later in the evening.
The older patient had to be revived and, while her life is not in danger, still requires intensive care, authorities said. The 79-year-old bed-bound neighbour was dependent on the oxygen supply, police and prosecutors in Mannheim, Germany, said on Thursday.
