GRAYSON, Ky. - (WSAZ) - A grand jury has indicted a second person in the death of a nursing home resident.

Michael Price, who had cerebral palsy, died last fall at Community Presence in Grayson, Kentucky.

A Carter County grand jury indicted Brandon Starotska on manslaughter, tampering with physical evidence and abuse or neglect of an adult by a caretaker.

The grand jury also indicted Matthew Bortles on similar charges.

The indictments allege Bortles and Starotska wantonly caused the death of Michael Price by restraining him in such a manner as to cause him to stop breathing.

Bortles was arrested back in November by Grayson Police.

Nine other former employees of the nursing home also have charges against them.
