Just curious, but where was the man's family during this incident?

From the article...

"She had not been able to see him before because the events had happened outside of visiting hours"

Ah yes, because when it is a private company providing a service, they let your family sit by your side, as most likely the family are the ones paying the bills.

When it is a government facility, there are strict “visiting hours”, not to be excessive or exceeded.

When it comes to my family, there is no such thing as “visiting hours”.

Nurses attempted to kick me out because “visitors hours were over”. They never did, although I understood they have their job to do. They understood that I also had an obligation to my wife, and never brought it up again.
