Bathfub Drowning Probe
Al Training School Ends

The investigation of the drown

the officials of the Department of
Public Welfare and report for

sioners.
At the time of the death, the
nurse. Mrs. Elsie Stanback, who
had batted the girl, was placed
on annual leave. She has since
resigned, and welfare officials
asked the Commissioners to accept
her resignation, rather than dis
miss her, because her services at
the school for some time had been
excellent and above average.
The investigation by Director
Gerard M. Shea revealed that
Mrs. Stanback, who was on duty
in that ward, had bathed the girl
and decided to let her remain in
\the warm water with a rubber
pillow under her head. She was
paralyzed and could not move, and
the nurse believed she would be
safe. However, as precaution,
she ordered another patient, to
watch her. Fifteen minutes after
the nurse left, the patient ran out
of the room and told the nurse
Geraldine's head had slipped off
the pillow.
Artificial respiration failed to
revive the girl. A certificate of
accidental death was issued.
