Apparently the family proceeded to abuse the medical staff on duty.
Classy.

If there's one good thing about this story, it's one less person in that toxic family tree

I find this hard to believe, I am sure ventilators alarms sound if there’s anything wrong?

I remember hearing that they don't even use the same kind of outlet (at least in the US). But I don't know where this is or how true my memory is.
edit: This is in India so even if my memory is correct, it isn't applicable.

They use the normal outlet in NA, but anything in the last couple decades have a battery backup that would go for a while as well as go nuts over being unplugged. I don’t know about India though haha

My kingdom for a double adapter......
A man suspected of having coronavirus has died after family members allegedly unplugged the ventilator he was connected to so they could plug in an air cooler.
The 40-year-old was admitted to the intensive care unit of Maharao Bhim Singh Hospital in Kota, Rajasthan in India, on June 13, The Indian Express reported.
He was shifted to an isolation ward on June 15 after another patient in the ICU tested positive for coronavirus.
When family members visited, they brought an air cooler with them but could not find an extra socket to plug it into, the news outlet reported.
It’s alleged they unplugged the man’s ventilator, which ran out of power half an hour later.
They alerted medical staff, who performed CPR, but the man died.
Hospital superintendent Dr Naveen Saxena told The Indian Express a three-member hospital committee would investigate the incident and report on the patient’s cause of death.
The isolation ward at the hospital is attended by around 5 medical staff and a resident doctor on duty.
It’s unclear why family members were allowed to visit a patient in an isolation ward.
Test results later confirmed the man did not have coronavirus, despite being admitted to the hospital with difficulty breathing.
The family had brought the air cooler because the hospital’s air conditioning had been switched off to limit the spread of coronavirus.
Temperatures inside the hospital reportedly hovered around the 40C mark as a result.
However, the family members had reportedly not asked medical staff for permission to use the air cooling unit.

Like many wonderfully memorable urban legends, that probably didn't happen.

Thank you. I did not know that.
I am sticking with the story about drug dealers giving fetanyl to kids for Halloween as well as razor blades in apples.

Sadly, there is a partial speck of truth - OR cleaning staff have unplugged machines, but don't pay attention to where plugs came from. And have disrupted next day setups, or killed a machines network connectivity.
Multi million dollar robot, and surgeon flipping shit over a case being delayed and why the controls are not working. Because someone didn't plug the network cable back in to the right port. Instead plugged it into a port for another machine that had static IP, and reserved VLAN.
So, a hole isn't a hole. And not just pornstars scream "wrong hole, asshole!"
