A former employee at a North Dakota care center has been sentenced to two years in prison for the death of an elderly resident.
Sixty-year-old Rachel Cooper pleaded guilty to negligent homicide and was sentenced today (Mon) in Fargo.
In addition to prison time, a jury in Fargo sentenced Cooper to two years of supervised probation.
Authorities say 78-year-old Gary Pearson was pushed and fell on Aug. 3, 2021, at Maple View Memory Care center. He later died.
A criminal complaint said Cooper was cleaning Pearson’s bathroom and that the two appeared to have struggled over the bathroom door.
