According to the Journal Sentinel, the\u00a0settlement says that Cindy Anczak’s demise and the investigation that followed has made the Mental Health Complex re-examine its policies and make improvements regarding “nuitritional care.”<\/p>\r\n
The settlement specifically states that the Anczaks and the county “disagree\u00a0over whether the county was at fault” in Cindy’s death on Aug. 16, 2006.<\/p>\r\n
Her\u00a0cause of death was due to complications of blood clots along with “self-induced” starvation, dehydration,\u00a0and other conditions, the coroner’s report said. Cindy, who was bipolar, refused to eat during her five-week stay at the Mental Health Complex\u00a0and lost 22 pounds while there, the Journal Sentinel reported.<\/p>\r\n
Cindy was eventually put on anti-psychotic drugs, but still refused to eat. She was found unconscious, and was sent to\u00a0Froedtert Hospital, where she died.<\/p>\r\n
The settlement states that Cindy’s death wasn’t the result of any neglect on the part of\u00a0the Mental Health Complex, according to the Journal\u00a0Sentinel.<\/p>\r\n
It’s no wonder that the Anczaks are “conflicted” about the outcome of their daughter’s case.<\/p>\r\n
