According to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek, Causey was given too high a dose of Propofol, an anesthetic that generally calls for at least two people to effectively administer the drug.
“It was the dose of medication, and the fact that he was in the dental office that piqued my interest right away,” she said. “Oral surgeons are in a unique position where they can administer both the anesthetic and perform the procedure. This is problematic when someone’s not exclusively focused on administering the anesthetic, which is something quite serious. So this was a recipe for disaster.
Banek says that while Cwik was acting in accordance with state law, he was not following the rules of properly administering the Propofol.

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.
