Description
A Florida law is keeping Tamika Ganzy from seeking justice after her mother’s death.
“She just had something that shined through,” said Ganzy, while looking at a picture of her mother taken on a family cruise. “Her eyes are the best part I love to look at in this photo.”
A photo is now the only way she can look into her mother’s eyes.
Gail Ganzy died three months ago in a Polk County hospital.
“She knew of all my goals, all my dreams, all my aspirations. And she always did whatever she could to make sure that they all came true. And knowing that I don’t have that person, it’s the hardest part,” Tamika Ganzy said.
She says her mother went in for a routine procedure, but she died after the hospital overdosed her on medicine.
The medical examiner’s office told 10 Investigates it did not perform an autopsy.
“I called the attorneys to see what recourse there was,” Tamika Ganzy said. “I wanted systems put in place. I wanted things to put in place to prevent this from ever happening to someone else.”
But she says all the lawyers she called for help told her they couldn’t take her case.
“'We would love to take your case for your mom, but because of the law, we’re not going to be able to.' And I was like, ‘Well, what law?’ And they informed me that there was something called the ‘free kill law,’” Tamika Ganzy said.
