SANTA MARIA, Calif. The family of an elderly
woman who died of a heart attack is blaming a
Santa Maria hospital's focus on accommodating a
flu-stricken Michael Jackson for contributing to
her death. The family of 74-year-old Manuela
Gomez Ruiz is threatening to sue the pop star
and Marian Medical Center.
Family members told A-B-C's "Good Morning
America" today the grandmother was relocated
from the hospital's primary trauma room to a
smaller room so Jackson could have the larger
room. The family says Ruiz was being treated
February 15th for a heart attack and died the
same day after two more heart attacks following
her move.
Jackson publicist Raymone Bain blasts the
"Good Morning America" report.
Bain says, "It is outrageous that Michael
Jackson's name would be invoked into a situation
of which he had no authority or control. He was
a patient himself."
In the statement, the singer also offers
condolences to Ruiz's family.
