“A Central Florida Navy veteran’s death raises serious questions about whether a local hospital verified the identity of a man who authorized doctors to discontinue his life support. The MacKinnon family attorney showed WESH 2 News a ‘do not resuscitate’ order Leclair signed, identifying himself as MacKinnon’s stepbrother. And on a ‘withdrawal of life support’ order, Leclair claimed to be MacKinnon’s brother. Partridge says the hospital never asked for proof of Leclair’s identity. DeLand police say Leclair had been named beneficiary to MacKinnon’s bank account, and after the widower’s death, he collected $106,000.”
