'We put all our trust and faith into that hospital to take care of him, and in the end? We got nothing, absolutely nothing.'
Donovan SlackAir Force veteran George Nelson Shaw Sr., died on on April 10, 2018, at the VA hospital in Clarksburg, W. Va. His death, ruled a homicide by an Armed Forces examiner, is one of 10 under investigation by federal authorities. He was 81.WASHINGTON – When federal investigators contacted the Shaw family at their farm in rural West Virginia last winter, they had an unusual request: They wanted to exhume the body of George Nelson Shaw, Sr.
Those two are among 10 at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, that have drawn the scrutiny of investigators with the FBI and the VA Office of Inspector General. "We put all our trust and faith into that hospital to take care of him, and in the end? We got nothing, absolutely nothing."
Shaw’s wife of nearly 59 years, Norma, told USA Today on Wednesday that he had been feeling a little off when they went to the VA hospital on March 22, 2018. His blood pressure was low, and he was tired and dehydrated. Her husband would never recover. He died on April 10, 2018 – a day after McDermott, the other confirmed homicide.
After retiring from the military, he took a job at the Clarksburg VA hospital, where he worked in the mail room for eight years, Norma recalled. Serving veterans was a natural choice, she said. Between him and other relatives, this family has racked up a century of service in the U.S. military, his daughter Linda Kay Shaw said.
