NJ Woman On Home Oxygen Dead After PSE&G Shuts Off Power Despite $500 Payment

NEWARK, NJ. (THECOUNT) – The New Jersey daughter of a 68-year-old woman who died after the electricity company cut power to her house, despite her paying $500 to her account only days before, is speaking out.

Desiree Washington says her mother Linda Daniels relied on an electric-powered oxygen tank to breathe, and she died of heart failure Thursday hours after Public Service Enterprise Group, aka, PSE&G, turned off the electricity at her Newark home.

Washington says $500 was paid to the company two days before, and her family had notified the company of her mother’s medical issues. source

PSE&G says they cut off power because of a lack of payments over “several months.”

The company says they were “unaware” of Daniels’ medical requirements, and they are reviewing their records.

Newark Police are investigating.
