An Atlantic County jury awarded $1.1 million on June 27 in a wrongful death suit on behalf of a diabetic patient who died from hypoglycemic shock in a nursing home, Magill v. Eastern Pines Convalescent Center.
Mary Stevens, 57, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, was admitted to Eastern Pines Convalescent Center in Atlantic City in November 2008.
