A Florida man died this month when he was left unattended on the lawn of the nursing home in which he lived.

The man, who was wheelchair-bound and immobile, suffered burns and dehydration, among other maladies.

A Florida agency is investigating the nursing home.

From the Associated Press:

A Florida nursing home is under investigation after the death of a man in a wheelchair who was left in the sun, where he suffered second-degree burns, blistering and symptoms of dehydration.

Police in Pinellas Park said 65-year-old Wilbert Henry Moten, who was immobile, spent hours outdoors on Saturday when temperatures rose into the 90s on a humid day. He died later after reportedly suffering heart failure, police said. An autopsy was under way Monday.

The state Department of Children and Families said in a statement Tuesday that it has opened a death investigation. And Shelisha Coleman, spokeswoman for the Agency for Health Care Administration said it’s also looking into the death.

GraceWood has been on the state’s “watch list” since November of 2013, which means the facility “did not meet, or correct upon follow-up, minimum standards at the time of an inspection.”

Moten had no living relatives, suffered from mobility issues, psychiatric problems and had been in the facility’s care for years, according to the state-appointed professional who advocated for his care.

The nursing home has a history of fines and deficiencies, but it’s unclear whether intentional abuse was involved in any way in the death.
