根据检控指控，Mosteller允许过时设备违反安全标准运行，导致这场本可完全避免的悲剧 [1]。氧气舱爆炸致男孩身亡，其母亲也在事故中受伤 [1]。
作为认罪协议的一部分，第二级谋杀指控已被撤销 [1]。Mosteller的最低监禁期为19个月 [1]。此案还涉及包括Oxford Center首席执行官在内的另外三人，目前正等待审判 [1]。
Jeffrey Mosteller, a safety manager at a specialty clinic outside Detroit, entered a no contest plea to involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday in connection with the death of five-year-old Thomas Cooper [1]. The boy died when an oxygen chamber exploded on January 31, 2025, at Oxford Center clinic in Troy, Michigan, an incident that also injured his mother [1].
Prosecutors alleged that Mosteller allowed outdated equipment to operate in violation of safety standards, directly leading to the preventable tragedy [1]. As part of the plea agreement, a second-degree murder charge was dismissed [1]. Mosteller faces a minimum prison sentence of 19 months [1].
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel commented on the case, stating that "this defendant allowed outdated equipment to be operated in violation of safety standards, resulting in this entirely preventable tragedy" [1]. Three other individuals, including the chief executive officer of Oxford Center, remain awaiting trial [1].
