Scott Hapgood left and Kenny Mitchel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Connecticut banker\u00a0charged in the death of an Anguilla hote<\/a>l worker has filed a lawsuit against the luxury resort chain \u2014 claiming they were negligent in protecting him and his family from the now-slain employee according to a New York Post article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott Hapgood claims Auberge Resorts \u2014 which owns the five-star Malliouhana hotel \u2014 should have fired employee Kenny Mitchel because he had criminal charges pending against him, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in a California court.<\/p>\n

\u201cAuberge let Mitchel \u2014 this drunk, high, delinquent, accused-rapist employee \u2014 stay in an Auberge uniform and gave him unrestricted access to its guests, including children,\u201d the suit claims.<\/p>\n

Hapgood, 44, faces manslaughter charges on the Caribbean island in the April 13 scuffle that left 27-year-old Mitchel dead.<\/p>\n

However this is case has seen inconsistencies regarding the allegations and counter allegations even as far as the official reports go.<\/p>\n

In a revised toxicology report<\/a> dated 3rd September it was found that “Acute cocaine toxicity could have been a potentially independent cause of death in the known circumstances,” quoting Dr. Stephen King, who oversaw the autopsy according to CNN.<\/p>\n

The original autopsy in April found that Mitchel’s death was due to “prone restraint and positional asphyxia,”.<\/p>\n

Notably, Mitchell’s ex and mother of his child who accused the decease of rape 1 month before his death claims that the rape charge was a result of a “misunderstanding”.<\/p>\n

The family of Kenny Mitchel also sought to sue Hapgood<\/a> back in December citing damages and costs of Mitchel’s funeral as well as loss of wages he could have earned had he not been killed – citing the original autopsy report.<\/p>\n

DNO has attempted to contact the Anguillian resort for comment on this recent lawsuit with no response thus far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Connecticut banker\u00a0charged in the death of an Anguilla hotel worker has filed a lawsuit against the luxury resort chain \u2014 claiming they were negligent in protecting him and his family from the now-slain employee according to a New York…","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":239416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nKenny Mitchel's alleged killer sues hotel for failing to protect him from alleged attack -
