14 dead after Florida nursing home lost A/C

Two more former residents of a Florida nursing home have died roughly a month after Hurricane Irma knocked out the facility's air conditioning, the Hollywood Police Department announced Monday.

"The death of Cecilia Franco has compounded this unnecessary tragedy for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren," family attorneys Curtis Miner and Albert Levin said in a statement.

Despite multiple calls between the nursing home and state authorities, the nursing home did not report that its patients were in danger or that they needed to be evacuated, according to a report last month by Florida Gov.

"This facility is failing to take responsibility for the fact that they delayed calling 911 and made the decision not to evacuate their patients to one of the largest hospitals in Florida, which is directly across the street," Scott said in a statement last month.

The nursing home has expressed its sympathy for the families of the deceased and said it is "fully cooperating with all authorities and regulators to assess what went wrong."
