Eden Wells -

In 2017, she was charged with obstruction of justice and lying to investigators. Later, she was charged with involuntary manslaughter (along with former health director Nick Lyon) in connection with nine deaths linked to the Legionnaires' outbreak.

Prosecutors alleged that Wells tried to stop a study into the Legionnaires' outbreak.

Legionnaires' disease cases rose in Genesee County, with investigators later linking the outbreak to low chlorine levels in the Flint River water.

After years of legal challenges, charges against her and several other officials were ultimately dismissed in 2022.

As chief medical executive, Wells was accused of failing to act swiftly in informing the public about a spike in Legionnaires' disease linked to the city's water source switch to the Flint River.
