Nicholas Cymbol, 43, died on May 1, 2023, while a resident at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Butler, Pennsylvania. His death was initially reported as a heart attack but was later determined to be caused by a lethal dose of insulin given by a nurse at the facility.

Cymbol had lived in Dayton, Pennsylvania, for 35 years and previously lived in Port Charlotte, Florida. Diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age 10, he had endured kidney failure and anoxic brain damage from a prior medical crisis. Before his disability he worked as a cook at Chili’s and was remembered as determined and well liked by fellow residents and staff.

Investigators identified a nurse manager at Sunnyview as the person who administered the fatal insulin dose. Staff had reportedly voiced concerns about a pattern of unexplained patient deaths and the nurse’s conduct, and family members filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging the facility failed to properly vet and supervise her. Does anyone have information about Sunnyview, its staff, or Nicholas’s time there that could help clarify what happened?
