The Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office today (Sunday) filed an indictment in the city Magistrate's Court against Muhammad Ismail (30), a resident of Nahaf, for an offense of recklessness and negligence.

According to the indictment, as part of his work as a nurse at the Neot High School Geriatric Center in the city, Ismail went to sleep during a night shift, and did not properly monitor the condition of the patients in the respiratory department for which he was responsible.

During the same shift, the ventilator of one of the patients in the ward was disconnected, and in the morning he was pronounced dead.

Ismail left the nurses' stand during the shift, awarded a mattress and a pillow in the medicine room, turned off the lights and closed the door, in a way that did not allow him to monitor and monitor the condition of the hospitalized patients.

While he was sleeping, as mentioned, the deceased's respiratory tube was disconnected.

About four hours after leaving the position a city worker assisted the defendant, and called him to the room where the deceased was staying.

Despite resuscitation attempts on the deceased, his death was determined.
