Two staff members at a northern West Virginia long-term care facility have been charged in the death of a patient who was left in a scalding hot bathtub a year ago, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said Wednesday.

Registered nurse Delilah Clyburn-Hill and certified nursing assistant Kylah Beard have been charged with felony neglect of an incapacitated adult by a caregiver.

A nurse and nursing assistant have been charged in relation to an incident last year at Hopemont Hospital in Preston County where a nonverbal patient was left in scalding water and sustained burns that eventually led to his death.

Kylah Beard, a certified nursing assistant, and Delilah Clayburn-Hill, a registered nurse, have each been charged with felony neglect of an incapacitated adult by a caregiver resulting in the incapacitated adult’s death.
