"I thought maybe she fell, and they said, 'No, no, that's not it. Your mom is in bad shape,'"
"'They told me she would not respond but they think she could hear, so I told her the final words. I told her I loved her,'"
"It's difficult to say what exactly happened because, as I understand, the door was locked," Flom told CBS. "How did they even know what could've happened?"
Galina Smirnova, 95, allegedly struck fellow resident Nina Kravtsov, 89, multiple times in the head with a piece of metal from a wheelchair during a quarrel at the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Coney Island around 10:25 p.m. Sunday. Medics transported Kravtsov to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she died at 5:39 a.m. Monday. Smirnova, who suffers from dementia, was taken to South Brooklyn Health for psychiatric evaluation and was awaiting arraignment on charges of murder and weapon possession. Kravtsov had lived in the facility since 2020 and was a Holocaust survivor. Nursing home staff said an investigation is underway, and Kravtsov’s daughter received a final call to say goodbye before her mother died.
