Teen's Death at Utah Treatment Center Due to Neglect, Autopsy Report Reveals
An autopsy report for Taylor Goodridge, a teenage girl who died while staying at a residential treatment facility for troubled teens in Hurricane, shows she was sick for 12 days before her death, according to attorneys. Taylor's father Dean Goodridge is suing Diamond Ranch Academy in federal court, alleging the staff knew she was sick and refused to help, leading to her death. Diamond Ranch Academy has since filed for dismissal in the civil lawsuit. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services placed Diamond Ranch Academy on conditional status on Dec. 22, 2022.
