A nursing home from McHenry County where six people suspiciously passed away was fined almost $360,000 after an employee mixed drug cocktails to make sure residents "would not be bothering her during her shift," a report by the Illinois Public Health Department contends. 

The nurse declared she was amazed because one of the women who were administered a strong narcotic substance didn’t died. "I can't believe she's still alive with all the morphine I've given her,'' she purportedly said in 2006, when the incident happened.

Neither the nurse nor the supervisor of the Illinois nursing home is identified in the state’s 130-page report. Both were charged in April with endangering the lives of the facility’s residents, but were never accused of directly causing their deaths. In McHenry County Circuit Court, the two women denied their involvement in any illegal activities, according to the report.

Marty Himebaugh, 57, a Lake in the Hills inhabitant, was indicted on six counts: four counts of criminal neglect of a long term care resident, one count of acquiring a controlled substance by fraud and one count of unlawful delivery of morphine. She was also charged with irresponsibly giving morphine to Virginia Cole, who allegedly died at the Woodstock Residence. 

Penny Whitlock, 59, the ex-director of the nursing home and a Woodstock city inhabitant, was charged with five counts of criminal neglect of a long-term care resident and two counts of obstructing justice.

The exhumed bodies of three of the victims are still tested, as police investigation continues. The causes of death listed for these three individuals are coronary disease, heart disease and pneumonia. The causes of deaths of the other three victims can’t be found out because their bodies have been incinerated.
