Don’t picture some slick medical office; the Pearl Street “facility” where Taylor overdosed is a perfectly ordinary tract house, built in 1979, surrounded by a stubby white fence. His belongings were “thoroughly searched” and all medications were “logged and stored safely by staff” upon his arrival, the suit says. He wasn’t allowed to leave unsupervised. He couldn’t have any visitors. He had to submit to regular drug testing.
“Frankie Taylor should have had absolutely no access to drugs, prescription or otherwise, without staff administering them to him,” the suit says. Lighthouse “knew or should have known if narcotics were brought into the facility.”happened, said Darren O. Aitken, attorney for Frankie Taylor’s parents.
