Jack Huls, a resident of The Laurels Mt. Vernon, died Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2017 at 84 years old. According to Knox Pages, On June 24, 2022, a Knox County Common Pleas jury awarded Huls' estate a $5 million settlement in Jack Huls’ negligence/recklessness lawsuit. The complaint was filed in August 2018. In the months leading up to Huls’ death, he was supposed to be receiving short-term rehabilitation so he could recover from a leg injury suffered October 2016 and return home, the complaint states, instead he died from infections caused by the caregivers who were morally and legally obligated to protect him.
