Episode Details

A West Virginia woman, 75, is accused of leaving her dementia-stricken, legally blind husband on the toilet for 19 hours—without food, water, or medicine—leading to his critical condition and eventual death. Found unresponsive by a speech therapist the next morning, he suffered heart failure, respiratory failure, and sepsis. Authorities say she ignored his pleas for help, went to bed, and later pleaded not guilty. The investigation continues as prosecutors consider charges of abuse or neglect.
