What Really Killed My Husband
It is easy to point to cancer as the cause of death. In part, the deleterious effects of cancer may have caused his physical death. What really killed my husband was multi-factorial; the unfortunate cascading of events that eventually pushed him over the edge.
In 2014, my husband reported age discrimination and eventually unlawful termination by the bedding and mattress company he worked for. EEOC charged this company but when the case was assigned to an investigator at the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR), she falsified her report. She made up a report that she interviewed my husband quoting words he never made.
Essentially, my husband called this report made up lies. The principal investigator wrote and mailed her seven page report on the day that she called my husband at home just to let him know she was closing the case. There was never an investigative interview. My husband contested this report and MCCR had to reverse the decision to close the case calling the initial report “incomplete.”
MCCR threatened to close the case on the pretext that my husband refused to cooperate but later forced to reopen it again when my husband filed for the substantial weight review from EEOC. Until now three years later, the principal investigator failed to write her “completed” investigative report thereby effectively silencing my husband’s cry for justice. My husband died seeking justice and redress for wrong doing by a company who abused civil rights.
How do you obtain justice when the very institution (MCCR) set to protect it is also a suspect for miscarriage of justice? My husband published in YouTube eight manifestos titled, “Civil Rights Issues at Maryland Commission on Civil Rights.” My husband suffered needless mental stress dealing with this issue of injustice in his life. It wasn’t enough to fight cancer. He had to fight institutional cancer of injustice. I believe he knew he will never get the justice he deserved and he died of a broken heart.
How do I know that? He wrote his lawyer an email vowing to continue the fight. It was to be his death bed wish.
