A Woman's Family Reported Her Missing. Her Body Was in Hospital Storage, Lawsuit Says.
Briefly

In a tragic turn of events, Jessie Peterson's family filed a lawsuit after believing she was alive and missing for nearly a year, unaware of her death.
The hospital told Ms. Congi that her daughter had been discharged against medical advice, leaving the family in a state of confusion and heartache.
Ms. Peterson was pronounced dead less than two hours after she called her mother for help, leading to questions about hospital communication.
