A Pennsylvania nurse who allegedly gave lethal doses of insulin to numerous patients at health care facilities has been charged with additional crimes. Forty-one-year-old Heather Pressdee was initially charged in May with killing two nursing home patients. She was arraigned Thursday on new counts that include two more homicide charges.
A registered nurse in Pennsylvania faces charges she administered lethal or potentially lethal doses of insulin to numerous patients — including a 104-year-old — at health care facilities over the past three years, prosecutors announced Thursday.
Pressdee, a resident of Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, allegedly gave excessive amounts of insulin to patients, some diabetic and some not. Pressdee typically administered the insulin during overnight shifts when staffing was low and the emergencies would not prompt immediate hospitalization, according to state Attorney General Michelle Henry.
The alleged crimes happened while Pressdee worked as a registered nurse at five different facilities: Concordia at Rebecca Residence, Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation , Quality Life Services Chicora, Premier Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
