‘Family members of a 74-year-old heart attack victim said Friday that a hospital’s focus on accommodating a flu-stricken Michael Jackson contributed to their loved one’s death.

The family of Manuela Gomez Ruiz, 74, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she was relocated to a smaller hospital room so Jackson could have the larger room when he was admitted last week. Ruiz was being treated for a heart attack, the family said, and had two more heart attacks after being moved and died the same day.

Family members said they have hired an attorney and plan to sue the hospital and Jackson.’
