On March 16, 2020, at the Beverly Hills Superior Court, a unanimous verdict was rendered against Providence Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance, CA for negligence in the 2014 death of a Redondo Beach man from feeding tubes placed into both of his lungs by a nurse causing both to collapse. The hospital engaged in a cover-up afterwards in trying to conceal the cause of death from the Los Angeles Coroner's Office.
