Investigations into a Gurnee-area dentist are underway after a 51-year-old Volo man died following a dental procedure, according to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek.
Corey Causey was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure on June 9, stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest, Banek said. He was rushed to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville and pronounced dead on June 10.
Banek s analysis concluded that the dentist Dr. Aaron Cwik of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons of Lake County administered too high a dose of the anesthesia drug Propofol.
Banek, who is a certified registered nurse anesthetist, said the dentist did not supply supplemental oxygen until the procedure was well underway and did not monitor Causey s vitals well enough to know in time that there was a problem.
