A North Haven dental student, Conor Hylton, 26, died on 15 August 2024 after being placed in what his family describes as a 'fake ICU' at the Milford campus of Bridgeport Hospital.
Hylton, a student at the University of Connecticut Dental School, was reportedly left unattended in the hospital's intensive care unit despite his rapidly deteriorating condition, according to a medical malpractice lawsuit filed on 31 March 2026 in Connecticut Superior Court.
