Her Medical Clinic was actually no longer a clinic in 1986. Maria Soto and Michelle Thames had died after abortions at there before the state finally shut the place down. Leo Kenneally solved his business problem by reopening the facility as his private medical practice. He continued to perform abortions, including one that killed a young asthmatic woman named Donna Heim on August 12, 1986.
Twenty-two-year-old Liliana Cortez walked trustingly into that fake clinic on September 20, 1986.
Other than having asthma, Liliana was in good health when she went for her abortion.
During the procedure, she suffered a seizure. Rather than take action to address the emergency, Kenneally continued the abortion. There was a 40-minute delay until the paramedics arrived to transport Liliana to a hospital. She died five days later.
You can learn more about Kenneally's checkered history by reading "Doctor Tied to 2 Deaths Loses License" from the Los Angeles Times.
