Steve Hughes reports for the Times Union that the daughter of a Cohoes woman who was found dead in an Albany County jail cell last summer filed a lawsuit Oct. 11 alleging the jail medical staff killed her with bad prescription drugs. Before Jessica Falco, 36, died in her cell on July 14, 2018, medical staff gave her two medications that are not supposed to be mixed, the lawsuit claims. And because of a transcription error, she was given too much of one of the drugs, according to the lawsuit. “This was not only a clear violation of the standard of care, but deliberately indifferent to Ms. Falco’s serious medical needs, especially given her compromised liver” from hepatitis, the family’s attorney, Bob Keach, said in an interview. Albany County, the county's Mental Health Department, CFG Health Systems, and the jail staff who oversaw Falco’s care are all charged in the lawsuit, but would not comment. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple, who oversees that jail said he had not seen the lawsuit. ”I can say that CFG has done an outstanding job making sure the inmates receive a high level of care,” he said. But CFG Health Systems has been sued multiple times in New Jersey for allegedly causing or failing to prevent inmate deaths. Six inmates died within two years at the jail in Hudson County, New Jersey before government officials terminated the company’s contract in March 2018. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
