NEW YORK —
An 86-year-old woman who broke coronavirus social distancing guidelines and grabbed onto another patient's IV pole in the emergency room was shoved, fell to the floor, hit her head and later died, according to a report from the New York City Police Department. Janie Marshall, broke the recommended six-foot space between herself and patient Cassandra Lundy, 32, when she grabbed Lundy's IV pole to get her balance at the Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center in Brooklyn on March 28.

A family member told CNN that Marshall had dementia. Lundy was arrested and charged with manslaughter and assault on April 2, the NYPD said.

Lundy faces charges of manslaughter in the first and second degree, assault in the second degree, and criminally negligent homicide, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office.

A manslaughter charge for this is silly.

Well that seems like an Olympic-sized leap

ETA: I'm curious from the downvoters: Why do you think all of these charges are warranted?

Wow. Of course social distancing has to be mentioned. Would’ve been a horrible situation where no one wins anyway. That’s cheap reporting & weak journalism.

Definitely wouldn’t be manslaughter in Louisiana. Just looked up New York’s statute, and second degree manslaughter might fly, but first degree manslaughter (which is more how we define it) is silly.

Even if she didn’t have it, she was shoved because Coronavirus is creating the atmosphere in which social distancing is necessary. If not for that, she wouldn’t have been shoved. Cause of death: Coronavirus.

Why not just punch them in the face? Both are totally reasonable reactions.

Will Bill O'Reilly come Lundy's defense? The old lady was on her way out anyway.

What am I missing? Why was the 32 yo Lundy arrested??

ETA: I’m tired. Lundy shoved the woman? How about the staff should have kept track of the DEMENTIA PATIENT.
