    New Jersey Man Beaten to Death by His Daughter’s Alleged Sexual Assault Assailant and His Father

    A teenage boy and his father have been charged with beating a man to death in New Jersey who was trying to defend his daughter following an alleged sexual assault, according to Too Fab. 

    On Easter Sunday, Louis “Gus” Serbeck, 54, and his daughter went to confront Eric D. Hannah, 55, and his son “J.H.”, 17, after Serbeck’s daughter informed him that “J.H.” had assaulted her at his residence the previous day, as reported by the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office.

    Details of the Fatal Assault

    “J.H.” was the one who answered the door, according to the prosecutor’s statement. Serbeck’s daughter informed the police that her father went over to speak with the teens’ father because they were reportedly family friends. However, when “J.H.” answered the door, she described him as being immediately “aggressive.” The situation reportedly escalated into a “physical altercation,” after “J.H.” allegedly picked up a baseball bat and used it to smash a window on Serbeck’s car. Serbeck attempted to stop him and “J.H.” allegedly struck Serbeck multiple times in the head with a metal baseball bat, reports note. 

    The teenager is also accused of hitting Serbeck’s daughter in the head during the confrontation. Hannah is said to have joined the fight, hitting Serbeck “in the back of the head with a metal flashlight.” According to the probable cause statement, as Serbeck and his daughter tried to leave, he suddenly collapsed to the ground near his vehicle. The Vineland Police Department and emergency medical response arrived on the scene, according to prosecutors. Serbeck was transported to a local hospital and set to be air-transported to another facility, but he died en route.

    Eric Hannah and “J.H.” were both arrested on April 20 on charges of homicide and weapons offenses. Additionally, “J.H.” is facing a charge of aggravated assault based on the allegations made by Serbeck’s daughter.

  • Hurricane Helene Takes The Life Of A Mother and Her Newborn Twins, After Tree Falls On Their Georgia Home

    Hurricane Helene Takes The Life Of A Mother and Her Newborn Twins, After Tree Falls On Their Georgia Home

    A Georgia woman and her twin sons sadly lost their lives when a tree fell on the roof of their home, per WSBTV. Kobe Williams, 27, had recently told her father that she and her newborn twins were staying at their trailer in Thomson while Hurricane Helene hit the southeast. 

    Before he ended the call to check in on his other kids, he advised her to take shelter in the bathroom with her one-month-old babies until the storm was over. A few minutes later, she stopped answering her family’s calls. Later that day, one of her brothers went to check on her, carefully avoiding fallen trees and power lines, and it was too hard for him to tell their father what he found.

    A large tree fell through the roof, hitting Kobe and causing her to land on her baby sons, Khyzier and Khazmir. Sadly, all three were found dead.

    “I’d seen pictures when they were born and pictures every day since, but I hadn’t made it out there yet to meet them,”

    Obie Lee Williams told The Associated Press days after the storm ravaged eastern Georgia.

    “Now I’ll never get to meet my grandsons. It’s devastating.”

    The babies, born on August 20, are the youngest known victims of the storm, which has claimed 200 lives as of Thursday. Other young victims include a 7-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy from Washington County, Georgia, about 50 miles south.

    Kobe, a single mother who recently gave birth to twin boys, told her family that she couldn’t evacuate with such small babies, according to her father. Many of his other 14 children still don’t have power at their homes in Georgia, he said. Some have traveled to Atlanta for shelter, while others have gone to Augusta to be with their father and grieve together. They are waiting for the county coroner to release the bodies and for the roads to be cleared before planning a funeral.

  • Florida Doctor License Suspended For Allegedly Removing The Wrong Organ From A Patient, Resulting In Death

    Florida Doctor License Suspended For Allegedly Removing The Wrong Organ From A Patient, Resulting In Death

    A doctor in Florida has had his medical license suspended after being accused of taking out an Alabama man’s liver instead of his spleen, which led to his immediate death, per NY Post.

    The Florida Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo, filed an emergency order on September 24, accusing Thomas J. Shakvovsky of

    “repeated egregious surgical errors”

    and

    “egregious conduct of fabricating medical records”

    relating to the death of 70-year-old William Bryan on August 21.

    Before the incident, Shakvovsky was working as an Osteopathic Physician at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital. Bryan and his wife, Beverly, were in Florida for a visit when he started feeling pain in his lower left abdomen. They went to a hospital in Miramar Beach, where doctors were worried about his spleen and decided to admit him for more tests. However, Bryan refused

    “surgical intervention.”

    Tests showed a possibly enlarged spleen and some blood in his abdomen, but there were no active hemorrhage reports revealed. According to the order, Shakvovsky kept insisting on a laparoscopic splenectomy (spleen removal surgery) on three consecutive days, even though Bryan wanted to go back home to Alabama. Eventually, Bryan agreed to the surgery after Shakvovsky pointed out a slight drop in his hemoglobin levels, which was only minor during his hospital stay.

    The surgery was set for 4 p.m. on August 21, but the operating room staff noted that it was being done with very few professionals available to assist.

    “Staff had concerns that Dr. Shaknovsky did not have the skill level to safely perform this procedure,”

    the surgeon general’s order noted.

    The doctor claims he began to cut the ligaments connecting to what he thought was the spleen. However, it turned out to be the liver. He then found a blood vessel he said he could feel pulsing and used a stapling device to staple the vessel. This resulted in major hemorrhaging and led Bryan to go into cardiac arrest. The hospital staff started suctioning out blood and prepared for an emergency blood transfusion as a

    “code”

    was called, and they performed CPR.

    The staff tried to revive the victim. However, Shakvovsky kept working inside the abdomen without asking for help and ended up removing a 4.6-pound liver.

    “The staff looked at the readily identifiable liver on the table and were shocked when Dr. Shaknovsky told them it was the spleen. One staff member ‘felt sick to their stomach,’”

    a witness in the operating room said.

    Bryan was declared dead, and Shakvovsky stated that he died from a splenic artery aneurysm.

    “The staff in the room felt that Dr. Shaknovsky was attempting to convince them that this is what occurred, even though they witnessed something different.”

    Bryan’s death was ruled a homicide due to

    “liver removed during splenectomy,”

    Zarzaur Law P.A., the family’s lawyers wrote on Facebook. Bryan’s family plans to file a malpractice lawsuit.

    Massachusetts Police Recruit Dies After Being Knocked Out During Training Exercise

    A Massachusetts family is calling for a thorough investigation after a state police recruit died following an injury during a training session at the Massachusetts State Police Academy, per USA Today. 

    Enrique Delgado-Garcia, 25, from Worcester, was hurt and lost consciousness during a defensive tactics training exercise on Thursday. He passed away the next day. 

    The training included boxing, as reported by WBZ-CBS News Boston. 

    After helping the recruit, the academy’s medical team determined he needed immediate care, so they took him to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, according to state police Gazette.

    “Despite the heroic efforts of medical professionals to deliver lifesaving care, Trainee Delgado-Garcia died at the hospital,”

    state police said in a statement

    In his last hours, state police held a bilingual ceremony for Delgado-Garcia, for his oath of office where he received his trooper badge in front of family, friends, and classmates.

    On Saturday, his body was moved from the hospital to the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Westfield, with state police cars following the transport. 

    Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. confirmed that Delgado-Garcia had previously worked in his office and stated that another agency would investigate his death due to a possible conflict of interest.

    “This investigation must be conducted without conflicts of interest and in full transparency,”

    City Council Vice Chairman Khrystian King said in a statement.

    “It is the least we owe to Enrique, his family, and our community in the pursuit of justice and accountability.”

  • Man Dies After Allegedly Swallowing Bags Of Drugs Following Investigation At Alleged Drug House, Deputies Say

    Man Dies After Allegedly Swallowing Bags Of Drugs Following Investigation At Alleged Drug House, Deputies Say

    The Major Case Unit of the Volusia Sheriff’s Office is looking into the death of a man who reportedly swallowed drugs to evade arrest, reports WFLA.

    The sheriff’s office reported that deputies were carrying out a drug search warrant at a house on Clara Avenue in DeLand around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. This followed an undercover investigation that revealed several drug sales from that location.

    Deputies found 54-year-old Cornell McKinney among five people in the house. They were sitting outside while the investigation was ongoing. The sheriff’s office stated that McKinney didn’t respond to the detectives who were trying to get his information, leading them to suspect that he might be trying to hide or swallow drugs.

    Detectives repeatedly asked McKinney to open his mouth and spit out what he was chewing, but he refused. When deputies called medics for help, he became unresponsive. Fire personnel performed life-saving measures and found three plastic baggies in his mouth, with two containing suspected heroin or fentanyl and crack cocaine. McKinney was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, and his family was notified.

    The sheriff’s Major Case Unit is investigating his death, and the Medical Examiner will determine the official cause after an autopsy. McKinney reportedly had a history of nine previous arrests in Volusia County for drug offenses and theft since 2012.

  • Infant Fatally Mauled by Pitbulls While Teen Parents Smoked Weed Outside

    Infant Fatally Mauled by Pitbulls While Teen Parents Smoked Weed Outside

    A tragic incident occurred in Rochester, NY, where a newborn baby was killed by two dogs in an attic while his teenage parents were using drugs downstairs, according to authorities, per AP News. Sulamain Hawkins and Anastasia Weaver, both 19, pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges on Thursday. They are accused of leaving their 3-month-old baby alone while they went outside to smoke marijuana.

    The heartbreaking event took place on August 3, when the couple placed their baby, Sulamain Hawkins Jr., to sleep on the attic floor before going outside to smoke. The couple reportedly left for about an hour while one or both of their pit bull-type dogs attacked the newborn. When they returned, they found their baby injured. 

    He was taken to the hospital, where he later died from

    “severe trauma to his body,”

    according to officials.

    “The allegations here, we feel, support the recklessness that a reasonable person in these defendants’ situations would not have acted the way they did,”

    Assistant DA Sara VanStrydonck said in court.

    “They knew a risk and they consciously disregarded that risk.”

    Hawkins and Weaver were not arrested until Wednesday. During the week before her arrest, the mother posted a troubling mix of grief and sexually provocative content on social media, reports note. Prosecutors stated that the tragic incident happened in a friend’s rented house, where the dogs were known to be kept in the attic. This is also where the young family had been staying. The tenants have since been evicted, and the dogs have been put down.
