Investigation into veteran deaths comes up negative

From KRQE-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – After careful review by the New Mexico Veterans Affairs health care system, no link has been found between the deaths of dozens of veterans and their place on the waiting list for medical care.
      Veterans affairs found 21 people who died as a result of being on the waiting list waiting for the doctor. As a result, officials investigated finding an additional 167 patients who died while awaiting various appointments.
      It wasn't until today that the officials found that there was no link between the two.
      Last week’s audit of Albuquerque’s Veterans Affairs hospital showed that there were 248 veterans on the waiting list.
      Veterans are still awaiting appointments and more doctors are currently being recruited. More
