Tina Toy’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Good Samaritan back in 2019 but the case has been delayed multiple timesTabatha Toy’s heart is forever broken. She says she’ll never get over the loss of her daughter, Tina, who died in March 2016 after being rushed to the emergency room at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. Tina and her identical twin Jasmine were born with Down Syndrome but the little girls were thriving.

Toy told us her daughter was having trouble breathing and after she was initially examined and given medication, the hospital staff ignored them. She said her daughter would have an episode where her chest would lift off the bed that would trigger a monitor alarm but staff would just shut off the alarm and walk away.

Tina’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Good Samaritan back in 2019 but the case has been delayed multiple times. “These communities rely on Steward medical group and the disservice and what they’re doing to this community is just heartbreaking and it’s been building. And they’ve known it for a long time and they let it happen,” she said.
