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.

i visited a nursing home here where i am from and i actually seen how they treat the patients, it wasterrible. one nurse got fed up with one patiernt and slapped her real hard....it was reportrd but the lady lied about doing
Actually, I do believe this does qualify as a nursing home. I think by definition, a nursing home is a facility that cares (usually long-term) for seniors and the chronically ill or disabled. I just can't believe it took this long for indictments.
if anybody really cared, they would speak up and tell the truth to someone that can help get justice for mike.
