WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. – Angie Birk was just one month into her new job as a nurse at KVC Academy – Edgewood in Webster Groves.
“She was a good soul. She was always spunky, very happy, positive with life,” Kathy Andrews, Birk’s mother, said.
Andrews says Angie was excited about her new job helping kids at the school for troubled youth. But on March 15, she suffered fatal injuries. OSHA inspectors wrote, “An accidental collision occurred between a client and nurse while the client was de-escalating from disruptive behaviors.”
Angie spent six days in the hospital before she died.
“She never woke up. I was never able to have that closure to say goodbye to her,” Andrews said.
Webster Groves Police Department has denied requests for more information about Angie’s death because it involves a juvenile. After attempts to track down information regarding an OSHA investigation, FOX 2 News called their regional office. We uncovered a letter that OSHA sent to KVC Missouri in July. It inspected the school shortly after Angie’s death.
