Lawsuit: Doctor Denies Care to Steal Dying Man's Rolex

An emergency room doctor is being suspected to have let a patient die in order to steal his wristwatch.

The family of a retired California police officer, Jerry Kubena, Sr, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in a San Joaquin County Superior Court against 32-year-old doctor Cleveland James Enmon., the Record reports.

The lawsuit alleges that the doctor "abandoned his efforts to resuscitate the decedent and decided instead to satisfy his narcissistic desires by stealing the presidential Rolex."

According to court documents, after Kubena died of a heart attack, two nurses allegedly noticed that his watch was missing, and spotted a "watch-like" bulge in Dr Enmon's pocket.

The suit continues that when hospital security was called, the physician walked to the hospital parking lot where security cameras captured him tossing an object onto a patch of grass. The Rolex was later retrieved from the spot and Enmon was fired by hospital administrators.

Kubena's children also charged the doctor with grand larceny and named hospital administrators and defendants for conspiring to conceal the crime.

Online retailers claim the value of the Rolex to be between $11,000 and $45,000 dollars. The claimants are seeing an undisclosed amount of money the doctor's "extreme and outrageous" conduct.
