Saturday, November 27, 2004: Ohio: Man dies in 3-story fall from nursing home:"A nursing home resident died from a fall out a third-floor window just hours after he was transferred to the facility from a home he used to walk away from. John E. Shullick, 82, walked into a resident's room on the third floor of Amherst Manor Retirement Community, took the screen out of the window and fell three floors onto a concrete patio, according to police."

I can see this type of thing happening just about anywhere. Who has time to supervise every patient 24/7?
