New: A state health facilities official was scheduled to appear before lawmakers Tuesday to answer questions about an elderly, nonverbal man who died after being left in scalding water. 
Lawmakers say the Justice admin intervened & cancelled the meeting. https://t.co/CTVMZ9TPtA

Lawmakers had planned to ask a state health facility official about an elderly patient’s gruesome death.
They said the Justice admin had the public meeting cancelled.
“A patient was boiled alive. We, the representatives of the people, deserve answers.”
