Suit: ICE Agents Responsible for Man's Death | | The death of a Texas man in southern California in March 2012 has prompted a lawsuit by the man's family against Border Patrol agents allegedly involved in his death.

The suit accuses officers of knowingly using the Taser in a dangerous situation and ignoring company warnings for the weapon. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages.

Some were injured, others were simply shaken up. Only one patient died that first horrific night. Since then, however, an alarming number of those patients have died. There are 14 in all, almost double what’s normal for a two-month period at the nursing home, administrator Rose Ann Morris said. Among an already frail population, it would be difficult to say for sure whether the blast caused their deaths. Still, the medical director of West Rest Haven, the board president and many of the patients’ families agree that the explosion was a contributing factor.
