"Mortuary investigator accusations: Spouse of hospital patient fatally struck – allegations of medical negligence surface"
Kamilla Nagy's death left her parents with unending grief and questions. Three years ago, she was brutally beaten to death by a fellow patient wielding an iron bar at the Isar-Amper Clinic in Haar, a tragic event that occurred on a psychiatric intensive care unit. The horrifying act remains not only disturbing but also raises questions about accountability.
Lawyer Jella von Wiarda, representing the Nagy family, highlights ongoing concerns, as noone was held accountable, despite accusations against doctors and nurses immediately after the crime. The perpetrator, Jayson L., was committed to a psychiatric hospital because he was deemed not guilty, but the clinic was never held accountable.
The gruesome details emerged during the trial at the Munich I Regional Court in July 2023. Between 9 and 10 a.m., Jayson L. tore a 35-centimeter-long shower rod from the ceiling in his patient room and proceeded to attack Kamilla in the bathroom. He struck her "at least two dozen times severely on the head" and hung her with her sweater. To cover his tracks, he built a pyre by laying clothes, furniture, and the mattress over the body before setting it on fire.
Staff did not notice the crime initially, as they were engrossed in a handover conversation in the station room. It is unclear if anyone was in charge of patients during this time, but it is evident that there were numerous staff members, including doctors and nurses, on the station.
The questions surrounding her death linger. How was Jayson L. able to enter Kamilla's room? According to the lawyer, he walked freely through the station corridors. From the parents' perspective, the crime should have been prevented if the clinic had taken police warnings seriously, as Jayson L. was involuntarily committed the day before the crime due to his unstable mental state.
Despite investigations by the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office, it remained unclear whether any criminal negligence or omission from treating doctors or nursing staff led to Kamilla's death. In January 2025, the proceedings were discontinued, citing a "fatal course" in the case of Kamilla. However, the family has since filed a complaint with the Higher Regional Court, which initiated a compulsory prosecution procedure to ensure accountability.
Professor Karl Beine, a nationally recognized expert on homicides in hospitals, accused the staff in Haar of making "clear and serious treatment errors" in his 65-page expert opinion. He was commissioned by Kamilla's parents. However, the public prosecutor's office did not accept his expertise, instead relying on their own expert and witnesses.
The case has also become a political issue, with the Green party in the state parliament submitting an inquiry to demand answers about the circumstances of Kamilla's death and the responsibility of the Isar-Amper Clinic in Haar. Accountability for Kamilla's death remains a pressing concern, as her family and the public search for answers.
- The concern over Kamilla Nagy's death persists, as no one was held accountable for neglected medical-conditions and chronic-diseases management, particularly in the context of mental-health and neurological-disorders.
- The lack of health-and-wellness focus, including the failure to address Kamilla's potential mental-health issues promptly, raises questions about the responsibility of the treating doctors and nurses at the Isar-Amper Clinic.
- The distressing incident involving Kamilla Nagy's death has highlighted the need for a comprehensive evaluation of the fitness of medical facilities, such as the Isar-Amper Clinic, in managing high-risk patients, particularly those with mental-health issues and neurological-disorders.
