Second camera found in WVU hospital restroom, suspended employee sent termination notice

MONONGALIA COUNTY, W.Va. — A second camera was found inside a WVU hospital restroom.

On Tuesday, a WVU Hospitals spokesperson told Channel 11 this camera was found by a facilities worker who was unclogging a toilet in a non-public staff restroom at the J.W. Memorial Hospital.

The camera was given to the police.

This marks the second camera found in staff restrooms at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital. The first was found on Friday.

That discovery prompted a search of all other restrooms at WVU-affiliated institutions, including Children’s Hospital, the Health Sciences Center and Fairmont Medical Center. That initial search came up empty, a spokesperson said on Monday.

“We will continue to work with law enforcement and the Monongalia County Prosecutor’s Office as the investigation continues,” a WVU Hospitals spokesperson said.

The suspect’s identity has not been released at this time.
