Bill Reagan submitted the complaint on February 21 against the University of Utah&#8217;s hospitals, clinics, and personnel, as reported by The Salt Lake City Tribune. His wife, Julia Reagan, aged 81, passed away on June 12, 2024, just one day after being admitted to a facility in Salt Lake City. The ordeal for the Reagans began on June 10 when they returned from Minnesota after Julia&#8217;s annual checkup at the Mayo Clinic. Upon returning home and feeling unwell, Julia took hydrocodone for relief but became dehydrated and drowsy. An EMT assessed her condition and determined she did not need emergency care at that time. However, after vomiting multiple times the following day, she was taken by ambulance to University of Utah Hospital where staff found issues with her lungs and a significant hiatal hernia filled with fluid. Despite instructions for careful monitoring during meals due to choking risks associated with vomiting, it is alleged in the complaint that staff failed to adequately supervise her. Tragically, early on June 12th she vomited again which resulted in severe injuries leading to cardiac arrest and ultimately her death.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Reagan described his late wife as his love and shared their long life together while running their outdoor advertising business; he has since honored her memory through tributes displayed on over 60 billboards across various locations. He expressed his desire for people not to forget Julia too quickly after her passing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2408593,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Julia-Reagan.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4606,4865,9255,4431,4133],"class_list":["post-2408592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-healthcare","tag-horror","tag-illness","tag-legal","tag-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Julia-Reagan.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2408592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2408592"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2408592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2408596,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2408592\/revisions\/2408596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2408593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2408592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2408592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2408592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
