In December, a woman who was being treated at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center wandered off and died on the roof of the facility. She was dressed in a hospital gown and slippers on a day when temperatures hit 24 degrees.

In order to get to the roof, the stroke victim and patient had to walk through three doors that should have been locked and/or alarmed. However she was lost by the hospital staff and not found until the next day when it was already too late.

The woman's family has filed a wrongful death and negligence suit against the hospital. If you or someone you know has suffered from the negligence of health care professionals, contact the  Pennsylvania wrongful death attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams at 215-329-3511.
