Danielle Conti, 43, is been accused by the daughter of late Anthony Catapano for stealing and using the credit card of her father whilst he lay dying from coronavirus in hospital.
The Staten Island University Teaching Hospital North in New York nurse was accused of using the credit card to make purchases of groceries and petrol worth a total of $60.
The daughter of the deceased, narrates the story saying she normally doesn't track his spending closely.
However, she said she alerted police when she received a credit card statement for petrol, which her dad always paid for with cash, and she noticed it was bought on April 9 while her dad was fighting for his life.
She said: "Obviously, I knew it had to be a hospital employee because visitors weren't really allowed."
Ms Catapano said police showed her CCTV footage from grocery store that showed a woman who appeared to be Conti paying for goods using her dad's card.
Conti has been charged with grand larceny, petty larceny and criminal possession of stolen property and has also been suspended by the Hospital and faces being dismissed.
