Manhattan woman visits hospital for broken ankle. Within 14 hours of treatment, she stops breathing: ‘admitted to a bankrupt hospital’

A 21-year-old Manhattan native went to a hospital just to get treatment for her broken ankle. However, she ended up dead because she was allegedly given too many pain medications, according to a lawsuit.

The family of the deceased victim, Dale Alice Martin, said in court documents that Waterbury Hospital in Connecticut disastrously botched her treatment on April 10, 2025. Dale arrived at the hospital with a fractured ankle while doing farm work and was said to have been given a lethal cocktail of drugs that left her brain-dead, according to the Hartford Courant.
