Neil Amstrong's family received $ 6 million from the hospital, where the legendary astronaut died

The family of astronaut Neil Amstrong received 6 million dollars by secret agreement with the hospital, where he spent the last days of his life and where, in the opinion of relatives, he did not receive proper medical care. This tells CNN.

An official report from his family said that the astronaut’s death was caused by complications after the operation.

However, according to the NYT, in fact, Amstrong's sons Mark and Rick blamed Mercy Health Hospital for inadequate postoperative care.

Mercy Health paid money in 2014 by secret agreement two years after the death of astronaut Amstrong.

The news of secret payouts became known a few days after the 50 anniversary celebration of Amstrong’s historic landing on the moon as part of the Appolon-11 mission.

On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that Armstrong's sons believed his death was due to incompetent post-surgery care at Mercy Health - Fairfield Hospital and threatened legal action against the hospital.

Although the hospital defended its actions and the medical care provided by Armstrong, they ultimately decided to pay the contract amount and avoid litigation, according to a New York Times article.

The newspaper reported that she received a letter from an unknown source. The letter contains a 93-page document that describes the treatment of Amstrong and the court case.

These documents included reports from medical experts on both sides and correspondence between the hospital’s attorneys and the Armstrong family, the newspaper reported.

Accompanying documents sent to the New York Times show what happened after Armstrong got to Fairfield Hospital with a suspected heart disease.

The doctors decided to perform a bypass operation immediately after the tests and implanted temporary tubes into his heart to speed up the heartbeat, reports The New York Times.

But when they were removed, Amstrong began bleeding and his blood pressure dropped. The New York Times report said he was taken to the catheterization lab for an echocardiogram, which confirmed "significant and severe" bleeding. Doctors drained some of the blood and then took him to the operating room.

The documents do not say what was happening in the operating room.

Armstrong died a few days later, on August 25 of the year 2012.

“The decision to send him to the catheterization laboratory was a major mistake,” wrote Dr. Joseph Bavaria, vice chair of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.

Another doctor, Dr. Richard Salzano, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Yale Medical Center, said that the catheterization laboratory "is certainly more risky than sending the patient to the operating room", but "justified."

Dr. J. Stanley Hillis, a hospital doctor, defended the method of treatment provided to Armstrong according to the documents.

In a statement to CNN on Tuesday, Mercy Health - Fairfield Hospital declined to discuss the case but said they were disappointed that the information became public.

"The public nature of these details is very disappointing - both for our department and for the family of the patient who wanted to keep this legal matter confidential," the statement said.
