An incident occurred at a nursing home in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, where a male resident in his 70s pushed an 80s female resident, leading to her death. The police have charged the perpetrator, a 70s man identified as A, with manslaughter and are also investigating nursing home staff for negligent homicide.
The incident took place in April within the nursing facility, where A pushed his fellow resident, an 80s woman identified as B, to the floor, causing severe head injuries. B was transported to the hospital for treatment but ultimately passed away this month, four months after the incident.
Despite the nursing home's internal counseling log indicating management guidelines to 'exercise caution to prevent disputes through constant observation,' it has been revealed that they failed to take appropriate measures despite recognizing the potential for conflict among residents. Investigators are looking into whether the nursing home fulfilled its safety management obligations and the specific circumstances of the day of the incident.
