Archie Dail Edgell was 84 when he died at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, on March 26, 2018. He had lived much of his life in Doddridge County and later the Center Point/Barbour County area, was a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean War era who played in an Army band while stationed in Germany, and worked for years for the City of Salem in street and water operations. He remained active as a musician.

Edgell entered the Clarksburg VA in March 2018 as part of a transfer to long-term care but died days later. Records show his diabetes medications had been held, and between March 24 and 25 he suffered serious hypoglycemic episodes. Medical staff gave glucose, but his condition did not improve as expected. An exhumation on December 11, 2018, found four apparent injection sites and results described as strongly suspicious for unprescribed outside insulin administered during hospitalization. At that time the autopsy listed cause of death as undetermined.

Investigators later linked his death to a series of suspicious fatalities on the same unit and identified a former nursing assistant as a person of interest. If anyone knew Archie or saw him during his last hospitalization, can you share what you remember?
