Hospital Transfers Corpse to Michigan Rehabilitation Facility (Titus Cromer)

Clinicians at Beaumont Health determined that Titus Cromer was brain dead on October 24, 2019. But they have continued organ-sustaining treatment for 88 days while a conflict has been litigated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Last Monday, Cromer was discharged from Beaumont and transported to a rehabilitation facility in mid-Michigan. But the family plans to continue its litigation seeking to annul the state’s “Determination of Death” law. The family's attorney stated: "The next battle is should Michigan have this statute that doesn't give a person due process before they're stripped of their status as a living person."
