Family Discovers Daughter's Death After Year-Long Search Due to Hospital's Negligence

  • Jessie Peterson’s family spent a year searching for her after being misinformed by Mercy San Juan hospital that she had checked out against medical advice.
  • Peterson, 31, died in April 2023 at the hospital, which then shipped her body to a storage facility without notifying her family.
  • The family learned of her death in April 2024, leading to a lawsuit accusing the hospital of negligence and emotional distress.
  • Peterson’s body was so decomposed that an autopsy was impossible, preventing the family from determining if medical malpractice occurred.
  • The family is seeking over $5 million in damages, citing the hospital's egregious and malicious conduct.
