Ms. Spalding was admitted to SFGH Sept. 19 for an infection. She was found dead in a rarely-used stairwell Oct. 8.
The claim states Spalding’s death resulted from “reckless neglect of her care, professional negligence by her health care providers; negligence; and the creation and maintenance of a dangerous condition of public property,” according to the report.
San Francisco has 45 days to respond to the claim, which will lead to a lawsuit if rejected.
