Family seeks justice after man found dead in Miami nursing home

The family of Elin Etienne, a 71-year-old man, is seeking answers after his body was discovered in a closet at a nursing home in North Miami. He was reported missing from the North Dade Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on August 22, and his remains were found on September 2. The family has expressed their distress over the circumstances of his death and has hired attorney Philip Gold to pursue legal action. They have filed a wrongful death claim as the first step in seeking justice. The family is particularly concerned about the nursing home's response and the lack of information provided regarding the incident. Edeline Etienne, Elin's daughter, has voiced her disbelief and sorrow over her father's death, emphasizing the need for answers. Attorney Gold has raised questions about the adequacy of staffing and supervision at the facility, suggesting that negligence may have played a role in the tragedy. Gold is also investigating whether surveillance cameras at the nursing home were operational at the time of the incident, as this could provide crucial evidence. The nursing home has previously stated its commitment to resident safety and has claimed to be cooperating with authorities, but they have not provided specific details about the case. As the investigation continues, the family hopes to uncover the truth behind Elin Etienne's death and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The North Miami Police have not commented on the ongoing investigation due to its sensitive nature.
