Mary Lee worked as a bank teller at InterFirst Bank of Nassau Bay. She lived in Friendswood, Tx. Mary’s death resulted in a lawsuit brought by the state against her treating hospital for “patient dumping.” It was reported that Mary was suffering from a drug overdose but when admitted to Humana Hospital was moved to a public facility due to lack of insurance. She died in transit. The lawsuit was the first to be brought under the new Hospital Licensing Act at the time.
