It is possible that the patient's death was due to medical negligence. If it was found that the return electrode was connected to the hands-free cable instead of the defibrillator, it is likely that the medical staff responsible for the patient did not properly use the equipment, or they were not adequately trained to use it. In this case, the hospital and/or the medical staff responsible may be liable for medical negligence and the patient's family may be entitled to seek compensation.
