养老院居民构成了全国人口的一个庞大且快速增长的部分。尽管如此，由于大多数居民患有严重的疾病，在疗养院发生的大多数死亡事件没有得到调查。在此，我们报告了一系列的非自然死亡的养老院居民，包括两个杀人和七个意外死亡。在四起死亡事件中，有人企图隐瞒死因和死亡方式。由于担心刑事或民事诉讼，养老院工作人员可能会试图隐瞒养老院居民的谋杀或意外死亡。由于这些病人患有严重的慢性疾病，主治医生往往愿意在没有亲自调查病人死亡情况的情况下签署死亡证明。作者认为，疗养院病人的非自然死亡被严重低估了。应敦促主治医生和死亡调查人员更充分地调查疗养院患者的猝死。
Nursing home residents comprise a large and rapidly growing segment of the national population. Despite this fact, the majority of deaths occurring in nursing homes are not investigated because of the significant medical illnesses suffered by most residents. Herein, we report a series of unnatural deaths in nursing home residents, including two homicides and seven accidental deaths. In four of the deaths, there was an attempted concealment of the cause and manner of death. Fearing criminal or civil proceedings, nursing home personnel may attempt to conceal homicidal or accidental deaths in nursing home residents. Because of the serious, chronic illnesses suffered by these patients, attending physicians are often willing to sign death certificates without personally investigating the circumstances surrounding the patient's demise. The authors contend that unnatural deaths of nursing home patients are significantly underreported. Attending physicians and death investigators should be urged to investigate more fully sudden deaths in nursing home patients.
