Michigan’s top health official to face trial over Flint water crisis deaths

 

Michigan health chief Nick Lyon will face trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with the water contamination crisis in Flint, a judge ordered on Monday, calling his conduct “corrupt.”

 

Prosecutors accuse Lyon of having failed to alert the public about a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Genesee county, which includes the city of Flint. The outbreak caused the deaths of two men and sickened dozens more.

 

Lyon has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of misconduct in office. If convicted of all charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter and 5 years for misconduct in office.
