DRAPER, Utah ( ABC4 ) — More details have become available on the local NICU nurse who police say illegally administered morphine to a man through an IV at her residence, leading to his death.
ABC4 attained over 50 pages of documents from a public records request detailing the investigation, including witness interviews and evidence summaries.
Catherine Worman, 33, was indicted on Friday by a federal grand jury and charged with the distribution of morphine resulting in death, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah .
The newly obtained documents state that on July 5, Worman allegedly hung an IV bag from a ceiling fan in a Sandy residence and attached it to a man’s left arm as he sat on the couch. Investigators say she administered morphine by syringe. It is unclear if the bag also contained morphine.

The man, whose name was redacted from the documents, allegedly called his girlfriend to pick him up as “he did not feel safe to drive home.” The girlfriend said she went inside the residence and saw him attached to the IV bag.
