MARION, Ill. — An attorney says a southern Illinois woman died six days after being accidentally set ablaze during an operation at a Marion hospital.
Robert Howerton has been retained by the family of Janice McCall. He says the 65-year-old Energy woman died Sept. 8 at a Nashville, Tenn., hospital to which she was transferred.
Howerton says he's requesting records from Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion about what happened to McCall.
The hospital acknowledges in a statement that the flash fire happened but won't offer specifics, citing patient confidentiality laws.
The Tennessee state medical examiner's office says McCall died from complications of thermal burns, and her death is listed as accidental.
