After winning a $2.4 million wrongful termination lawsuit, a former California hospital employee—now homeless and severely mentally ill—has gone missing, leaving even his attorney unable to locate him.
Daniel Ridge began working part-time in Highland Hospital's morgue in 2006 and took on increasingly demanding responsibilities after staffing shortages left him covering full-time hours, East Bay Times reported. In 2015, facing mental and physical health decline from stress and exposure to chemicals used in the morgue, Ridge went on medical leave.
