A mother and children are facing eviction in a dispute with the family of a woman whose life their daughter saved.
Missy Kowalski, who suffers from a heart defect, crawled through a window to rescue her 84-year-old landlady who spent 15 hours lying on the floor after a fall.
Missy's mother Deb Gordils has always paid the rent on time but relatives of landlady Kathleen Slattery, who died on Saturday, want the family to move and sent an eviction notice March 13.
Slattery's niece and legal guardian is Mary Siwak.
In probate court, Siwak's attorney told a judge that Gordils has been telling "anyone who would listen" that Siwak and a caregiver are responsible for the death of Slattery by over-medicating the woman.
An agreement to allow the family to remain in the apartment until June 1 has been reached.

Gordils said Slattery once told her "that she wasn't happy with other people making decisions, and she mentioned to me that she felt she was being over-drugged. I advised her to talk to her doctor. That's all."

It's highly unlikely that Kathleen Slattery's landlady overmedicated purposely her considering the fact that Gordils had recently saved her life.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible that Slattery was overmedicated by her doctor, though. Doctors push pills, especially to the elderly.
I think the authorities need to have a full investigation into the possible drugging of the landlady, Kathleen Slattery. Regardless of the possibility of drugging issue, isn't there a problem with someone laying on the floor for 15 hours? Isn't that in the category of negligence? So, eviction is the reward for Missy Kowalski's family?
ReplyDeleteSiwak needs to rethink her position.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Slattery's 15 hours laying there was necessarily anyone's fault. She might have fallen right before bedtime and then been discovered around noon the next day. I am just guessing, but it could be a simple explanation for that.
