A nurse at an Oregon hospital diverted fentanyl from a patient’s intravenous drip and replaced it with tap water, causing a bacterial infection that killed a 65-year-old patient, a wrongful-death lawsuit alleges.

Horace Wilson died at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford on Feb. 25, 2022, nearly a month after being taken there after breaking his ribs and spleen in a fall from a ladder, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday by a representative from Wilson’s estate that seeks $11.5 million. The lawsuit names Asante and the former nurse Dani Marie Schofield, who has not been charged with a crime.

In an interview with The Lund Report, Schofield denied wrongdoing, saying, “The truth will, I’m sure, come out.”

Police have confirmed they were aware of the lawsuit and have opened an investigation involving interviews with “hundreds of people.”
