The incident happened April 1st at Baton Rouge General Mid City hospital. The nurse, whose name has not been released, reportedly suffered a torn leg muscle and a head injury.

Preliminary autopsy results released yesterday show she died from a blood clot in her leg and a pulmonary embolism, but it's not yet confirmed if her death was a result of the attack.
