More details to this question:
Shaw was not seemingly sick when I visited the week before she was taken by ambulance. I suspect she may have been neglected and the Doctors where trying to convince me to pull the plug. I live in DC the nursing home and hospital are located in maryland. Her bill is being paid by DC medicaid.

You should set up a consultation with a lawyer who has experience with nursing home cases. He or she can evaluate your potential case and advise you on whether or not to request an autopsy. Most nursing home attorneys do not charge anything for an initial consultation, so there is no risk in calling to discuss your concerns.
