Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, as reports in recent days on the deaths of 11 patients have drawn the scrutiny of lawmakers and federal law enforcement. A source familiar with the investigation told CNN that the person had worked at the hospital at one point. Federal investigators including the FBI have been probing the deaths for over a year and have met with families of potential victims, another source familiar with the investigation said. About nine or 10 other patients at the hospital died from low blood sugar before his death as well, according to the claim.
