"Detectives found that a nursing home employee checked on Smirnova and Kravtsov at 8:55 p.m. that night, where Kravtsov was seen sleeping in her bed. An hour later, the employee checked on the room again, where Kravtsov was still in her bed, but this time covered in blood "with gash marks about her face and head." Meanwhile, Smirnova was discovered washing her hands in the bathroom. Her shirt was covered in blood. The employee further noted that a wheelchair inside the room was missing its foot pedals. One pedal was found outside on the ground under a window. The other was on inside the room covered in blood."
"Kravtsov was taken to a hospital, where she died the next morning as a result of blunt force trauma, per the affidavit. Smirnova was linked to Kravtsov's death after video surveillance footage showed no one else entering their shared room between the employee's hourly check-ins. According to NBC News, Smirnova was a dementia patient and had only been in the Coney Island facility for 48 hours. Meanwhile, Kravtsov, a Holocaust survivor, ended up at the nursing home after having a stroke five years ago."
An incident at Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Coney Island left an 89-year-old resident with severe head trauma and a 95-year-old roommate arrested. An employee's hourly checks found the victim initially asleep, then later covered in blood with gash marks to her face and head, while the roommate was washing bloodied hands with a bloodstained shirt. A wheelchair in the room was missing foot pedals, one found outside and one inside smeared with blood. The victim died of blunt force trauma the next morning. Surveillance showed no one else entered the room between checks. The 95-year-old, reported to have dementia and only recently admitted, was charged with second-degree murder and weapon possession, pleaded not guilty, and was scheduled to return to court.
