Nicey Washington was 26 years old when she underwent a safe and legal abortion at Ambulatory Surgery Center of Brooklyn in New York on the morning of June 6, 2000.

Her heart stopped after the abortion. She was rushed to Lutheran Hospital at about 11 a.m. Attempts to revive her failed, and she was declared dead at around noon.

As of the time of the last article I could find on Nicey's death, the Medical Examiner's office hadn't determined the exact cause of death, but suspected a botched abortion.

The state health department would not provide information due to confidentiality concerns, but added, "We are actively investigating this particular case."

AbortionDocs indicates that Ambulatory Surgery Center was sued for the death 10 years later of 32-year-old Lisa Fusco.
