Hospital patient dies after being abandoned for 22 hours

It happened to a mental patient in North Carolina. He was left un-attended in a chair without food or assistance before he died by choking on his medication. The entire incident was caught on video, and captured a nurse right next to him, offering no assistance to save his life.

The video show staff members playing cards, watching television, and even dancing while Mr. Sabock died in a nearby chair. On top of that, the staff members didn't realize that he died when they tied to stand him up, and then used a chair to slide him to his room. Minutes later, staff members can be seen rushing into his room with emergency equipment.

Federal officials are considering cutting off funds for the hospital.
