Controversy

The NYC Fire Commissioner disclosed that the hospital allegedly refused "to admit a 6-year-old boy who was dying from electric burns and shock."^[6][7]

The hospital closed months later, and its building was sold.^[1]

Twenty years prior to this boy's death another allegation was made regarding claims by a nurse about plans for starving to death a girl born mentally weak.^[8]
