Family files suit against Carol Stream Fire District
The *Daily Herald* recently reported on a wrongful-death lawsuit filed against the Carol Stream Fire District. The case involves an 81-year-old woman, Armida Nonneman, who died in August 2012 after reportedly choking on food during a party in Carol Stream. Her family has now taken legal action, accusing both the village and a former paramedic of negligence.
According to the lawsuit, on August 25, 2012, paramedic Carey Zabran—now no longer with the fire district—responded to the emergency call. The suit claims that Zabran attempted to intubate the woman while food was still lodged in her throat, despite being advised by off-duty paramedic Rick Beltrame, a former fire chief, that the food needed to be removed first. The lawsuit states that Zabran was aware that intubation under these conditions could push the food further into the airway, worsening the situation.
Additionally, the suit alleges that Zabran failed to provide proper medical care and did not consult with other medical professionals in a timely manner. The woman was transported to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, where she passed away three days later.
The case has also brought attention to Battalion Chief Joseph Gilles, whose termination hearings were ongoing at the time. In October 2013, Gilles claimed he was targeted for dismissal because he refused to cover up potential negligence by the paramedic. However, the fire district’s attorneys have denied these allegations, calling them “without validity.â€
James Nonneman, the son of the deceased, revealed that he only learned about an internal investigation into the incident 14 months after his mother’s death. His attorney, Paul McMahon, stated that the family had been seeking the truth all along and felt they were kept in the dark. “They’ve asked us to pursue this to get them the truth,†McMahon said. “If the truth leads to accountability, that should happen too.â€
When asked about the damages sought, McMahon mentioned that the amount would depend on the evidence uncovered during the case. He noted that wrongful death cases typically involve six-figure settlements, with few falling below $1 million.
Fire district attorney Karl Ottosen declined to comment on the specifics of the litigation but expressed general disappointment if the case involves negligence by district personnel. He added that the upcoming testimony from Gilles’ trial would likely show that the lawsuit lacks a solid foundation. “I understand the family’s right to sue, but we will handle it in court,†he said.
Gilles’ attorney, John Botti, claimed that the first responder “essentially froze†during the incident, failing to follow proper procedures. The case continues to unfold, raising important questions about emergency response protocols and transparency in public services.
