The video, which went viral on social media, has since been removed. It apparently showed the victim lying under a blanket deceased. An employee in scrubs, identified as Williams, laughs in the victim’s face shortly before the video ends.

The video lasted only a few seconds but the alleged shocking actions of Williams resulted in her losing her job, according to a statement released by The Brennity.

“First and foremost, we find the actions in this video to be completely unacceptable, inappropriate and not in line with our Resident First philosophy that we strictly uphold at our communities. We can confirm that this associate is no longer with Sagora Senior Living as we will not tolerate behavior like this.”

Williams has since bailed out of jail. Check back for updates.
