The table lamp was unplugged and the electrical cord was laying on the open ground where the plug prongs were exposed to the environment and any traffic near the lamp. • Observation of the bottom of the door going into Resident #91's room and facing into the hallway revealed a moderate build up of brown, dried stains looking like dried on coffee stains. • Page 1 of 2 366079 366079 12/07/2023 Eliza Jennings Home 10603 Detroit Avenue Cleveland, OH 44102
