The family of a Rockville Centre Mercy Hospital security guard is seeking answers from his employer and justice after their loved one was severely beaten by a patient while he protected a doctor.

The wife and children of Gardy Coriolan, 63, who has worked at Mercy for the past 28 years, said he remained in a coma with 90% brain damage. Coriolan was assaulted and then went into cardiac arrest.
