The family of Sarah Niyimbona has filed a lawsuit against Providence Sacred Heart for the hospital’s alleged neglect and medical malpractice that led to the girl’s death.
Niyimbona had been a patient at Sacred Heart since January for repeated attempts to end her own life. On April 13, the 12-year-old was able to leave her hospital bed undetected and died from injuries sustained from jumping off a nearby Providence parking garage.
Providence Sacred Heart declined to comment on the lawsuit…
