LANGHORNE, Pa. — A home for people with disabilities has suspended a second employee following the death of a 20-year-old autistic man left in a hot van after a trip to a suburban Philadelphia theme park.
Twenty-year-old Bryan Nevins (pictured) was a resident at the Woods Services treatment home. He was not deemed missing until a nurse looked for him to give him medication around 4 p.m. Saturday.
Nevins had returned with two counselors and three other clients around noon from a brief trip to nearby Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa.
Woods Services said July 27 that a second residential counselor who chaperoned clients on the trip has been suspended.
Officials previously announced the suspension of a counselor who served as the van driver.
