The proceeds will go to the legal heirs of the victim, Betty Rita Fernandez, 42 as compensation for the financial and psychological harms that they suffered, media reports said.
A complaint was filed by the victim’s husband against the defendant after the death in May 2019 as a “result of a medical error.”
