A 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer's Disease was found with 57 maggots crawling in her ear while she was under the care of a nursing home that costs around $10,000 a month.

The family of Catherine McCann sued the home for negligence and emotional distress. Her 88-year-old husband John McCann spent his life savings paying for her to be looked after by the Lutheran Home for the Aged in Arlington Heights, Chicago.

Medics treating her believe that a fly crawled into the ear and laid eggs, which hatched into nearly 60 maggots. Experts studying the sample say that the maggots had been in her ear for two or three days before she was brought in.
