ST. GEORGE — Diamond Ranch Academy in Hurricane, in Washington County, has filed for dismissal in the civil lawsuit against the youth treatment facility in the allegations of medical malpractice resulting in the death of 17-year-old Taylor Goodridge.
The civil lawsuit was filed Dec. 30, 2022, by Dean Goodridge, the deceased youth's father, in relation to the teen's sudden death which occurred at the youth treatment facility in Hurricane 10 days earlier.
The cause of her death has yet to be released. The Hurricane Police Department has said by email that the criminal investigation is still open and certain information is currently not available to the public, including the autopsy results. The email was in response to a Government Records Access and Management Act requested by St. George News.
On March 10, Heidi G. Goebel and Samantha E. Wilcox of Goebel-Anderson PC of Salt Lake City filed the request for dismissal on behalf of Diamond Ranch Academy.
