‘Everyone who knew her loved her.’ PSE&G played God in ailing grandma’s death, daughter says – NJ.com

Daniels died about six hours after the air conditioning and her oxygen machine stopped running, her family said. 

“Linda Daniels was denied the right to die peacefully, with dignity,” the family’s attorney Michael Robbins said. “As the family called and pleaded for the truck that had just disconnected the power to their home to come back, agents and representatives treated them and their emergency with a callous disregard … This is a tragedy that could have been prevented.” 

Washington said they made consistent payments: $300 in April, $250 in May, $400 in June and $500 in July, bank records show, and said Daniels owed no more than $1,400 on the account. 

The family said they told a PSEG representative their mother was connected to a medical device during a visit last month; Robbins added that hospice workers routinely advise utility companies of “medically-compromised patients.” 

A spokeswoman for RWJ Barnabas Health, which Washington said provided hospice care for her mother, said they do not comment on individual patients.
