A Miami nurse was arrested Friday after police said she removed her mother from intubation, telling hospital staff she “wanted her mother to go in peace.”
An arrest report obtained by NBC affiliate WTVJ said 54-year-old JSG’s mother was admitted to Northshore Medical Center on May 5 after she began experiencing shortness of breath.
She was eventually transferred to the intensive care unit, where she was intubated due to her declining health.
G called her children on May 16 to tell them that their grandmother was not doing well and asked them to come to the hospital, according to the report.
They were all together in the ICU room when G said, “I’m pulling out,” and removed her mother’s breathing tube, authorities reported.
An alarm sounded and medical staff rushed to the room. They started giving G’s mother aid, but G told them to stop and that she wanted her mother “to go in peace,” according to the report.
Her mother was pronounced dead a short time later.
G was gone by the time detectives arrived at the hospital. However, they later found G at her home, where she was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated manslaughter of an elderly or disabled adult.
According to the arrest report, G is a licensed nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in the medical field.
A judge ordered her to be held without bond during a court hearing over the weekend, WTVJ reported.
