Adult Foster Care Administrator Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter After Resident Death

Kristi Tucker-Fleischfresser, 39, was arraigned before Judge Corey J. Wiggins in the 84th District Court in Cadillac on multiple felony charges related to the 2022 death of a resident of Pleasant Lake Lodge in Cadillac, where Tucker-Fleischfresser was the administrator, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. It is alleged that a 60-year-old female was admitted to Pleasant Lake Lodge on November 1, 2022, with a diagnosis of diabetes and was prescribed two types of insulin. On the morning of November 5, 2022, she was found deceased in her bed. The resident allegedly never received her prescribed insulin and died due to complications of diabetes. It is further alleged that Tucker-Fleischfresser failed to ensure that the resident received her prescribed insulin and obstructed an investigation by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) by falsely documenting that the resident had received her insulin.
