DELTONA, Fla. -- A Volusia County nursing home resident who was found with maggots in one of his eyes, an infected breathing tube, a partially inserted cathater and bed sores has died, according to his family.

Anthony Digiannurio, of Deltona, was 82 years old when he was transported in November from the University Center West nursing home to Florida Hospital DeLand, where staff members discovered the ailments.

It is not known if the cause of death was related to the aforementioned conditions.

According to a DeLand police report released in November, a representative from University Center West said that the man had constant care from multiple hospice workers and two certified nursing aides at the nursing home.

Officials from the state Department of Children and Families were investigating the incident.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has found 19 deficiencies at the facility since June 2006.

And they're wondering HOW he died??

Someone is not being truthful, here. The so-called nursing home needs to have it's license yanked. The poor fellow's family needs to consider the role their own uncaring absence played as well, before they go filing the inevitable lawsuit.

Constant care? I'd hate to see what the hell a case of neglect would look like in this place.

maggots only eat dead flesh/meat..they do not take one bite of live flesh..........the bed sore mention means he was not turned or his blood was never stimulated like a massage

I’d rather someone just do me in than ship me off to a nursing home.

I’m sure this wouldn’t have happened if the government had been in control of the care in this nursing home. /s

A lot of these “care” facilities operate on the same principle as puppy mills.

Do you realize how selfish that is? Your rot is someone else's job, ya know.

Ah, then you understand HillaryCare!

When Hillary is taking care of health care, maggots-in-the-eye will be the LEAST of our worries.

The man died of neglect and gross negligence

This sh!t hole should be shut down and the owners sued for every penny they have. Did this poor old soul have any family at all??

This story is right up there with a photo of Hillary, Bill and Chelsea—thanks for making me lose my lunch (I needed to drop 5 pounds anyway)>

True, she wouldn't want the Soylent Green to spoil.

[ChurtleDawg]

if someone had maggots coming out of one of their orifices, I would hazard a guess that it is related to his death in some way

OOPs. Just read the last line of the article. This poor old man was nothing more than a cash cow for the facility. An empty bed dosen’t make any money.
