S Jenkins nurse at Abbot Northwestern in Minnesota killed
Executive summary
There is no reporting in the materials provided that a person named “S Jenkins” who worked as a nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minnesota was killed; the available coverage about Abbott Northwestern in these sources concerns a 2013 wrongful‑death malpractice case involving Nicole Bermingham, not a homicide of a nurse [1] [2]. The record supplied contains multiple nurse‑related criminal and malpractice stories from other places and times, which could create confusion but do not establish that “S Jenkins” was killed at Abbott Northwestern [3] [4] [5].
1. The most prominent Abbott Northwestern case in these sources involves a patient death, not a nurse
Reporting cited here describes a 2013 maternal death — Nicole Bermingham, 30, who died days after giving birth and after being discharged from Abbott Northwestern — which resulted in a jury awarding the family more than $20 million for wrongful death and finding negligence in the care she received from emergency‑room staff [1] [2]. Those accounts say the litigation focused on alleged misdiagnosis and an emergency‑room nurse’s failure to act on laboratory evidence of sepsis; they do not report a homicide or the killing of a nurse at Abbott Northwestern [1] [2].
2. No source in the provided set names or documents a nurse called “S Jenkins” being killed at Abbott Northwestern
A review of the supplied items yields no article, obituary, police report, or official statement referencing an “S Jenkins” associated with Abbott Northwestern who was killed; the materials instead include a mix of malpractice verdicts, criminal prosecutions, and investigative reporting about other nurse‑involved deaths in different jurisdictions [1] [2] [4] [5] [6]. Because the reporting set is finite, this absence is a limitation of the available documents rather than proof that no such event ever occurred; however, within these sources there is simply no evidence supporting the claim that “S Jenkins” was killed at Abbott Northwestern.
3. Other nurse‑death stories in the dataset demonstrate how narratives can be conflated
The supplied corpus contains high‑profile, but unrelated, cases — for example the criminal prosecution of RaDonda Vaught in Tennessee for a medication error that resulted in a patient’s death [4] [7] and historic serial‑killer nurse investigations such as the Charles Cullen case [3] — which illustrate how disparate nurse‑related tragedies and legal outcomes can be conflated by memory or rumor when names and institutions are blurred together [3] [4]. These other items show the dataset covers both malpractice civil verdicts and criminal prosecutions, but none of them link an “S Jenkins” to a killing at Abbott Northwestern [3] [4].
4. What the reporting does establish about accountability at Abbott Northwestern in the Bermingham case
The Minnesota jury verdict reported in these sources found negligence contributing to the death of Nicole Bermingham and awarded the family a multi‑million dollar verdict, and reporting noted the nurse named in that civil suit later worked elsewhere — a civil‑litigation outcome, not a criminal homicide finding against a nurse employed at Abbott Northwestern [1] [2]. Those facts explain why Abbott Northwestern appears in the supplied documents, but they do not substantiate a claim that a nurse named “S Jenkins” was killed there.
5. Bottom line and recommended next steps given the limits of the record
Based on the documents provided, the direct answer is: there is no evidence here that “S Jenkins,” a nurse at Abbott Northwestern in Minnesota, was killed; the only Abbott Northwestern story present involves a patient’s wrongful‑death malpractice verdict [1] [2]. Confirmation would require additional searches of local Minnesota news archives, police and coroner records, hospital press releases, or obituaries beyond the material reviewed; absent such corroboration, asserting that “S Jenkins” was killed would be unsupported by the reporting at hand.
