A lawsuit has been filed by the family of a woman who was beaten to death by the man lawmen say later shot and killed a Lenoir County deputy.
Cindi Knighten was found dead at her home in Bridgeton last April. Authorities say hey boyfriend, Clarence Phillips beat her so badly she died, before going to Lenoir County where he gunned down Lenoir County deputy Allen Pearson. Phillips was killed in the gunfire exchange.
Now Cindi Knighten's family is suing Onslow Memorial Hospital for invasion of privacy.
The lawsuit claims that hospital employees were passing around x-rays of Knighten after her death. She had worked at the hospital in Jacksonville for more than a dozen years.
A hospital spokesperson won't comment because of the ongoing litigation.

To T is right, its HIPAA. Just sayin ;)
This is a horrible violation of privacy if it's true. And mr/ms smartypants (T)....it is HIPAA, not HIPPA. It's Health Information Portability and Accountability Act. If you're going to correct someone in an attempt to make yourself sound smarter, at least get it right, lol.
1--this girl was dead, I don't think pictures were needed to instruct, 2--you have got to be kidding, you take picures so new hires can get ready? that is awful, 3--hippa, hipaa, hippo, whatever, it is wrong to view the misfortune of others for the wow factor, 4--health care workers, law enforcement workers, god bless you, we need you, no one is disrespecting you, 5--whether digital, film, etc, the hospital admits they did it, they just can't seem to admit its wrong.
