The Florida nursing home where eight patients died in the heat after Hurricane Irma is trading blame with the Florida governor’s office over who bears responsibility for the deaths.
There are contradictions between the accounts each side is giving over when the facility reported problems with its air conditioning units and unanswered questions about what steps the facility did or did not take to keep residents cool.
