NEW YORK - The daughter of a woman who died unnoticed on the floor of a hospital psychiatric unit called Tuesday for criminal prosecution of the workers who did nothing to help her.

“What I want is justice,” Tecia Harrison said, hours after her family notified the hospital, the city and the city’s Health and Hospitals Corporation that they intend to file a $25 million lawsuit.

“Whoever committed a criminal act should be held responsible.”

Surveillance footage showed the death of Esmin Elizabeth Green, 49, who collapsed face-down on the floor of the Kings County Hospital Center’s psychiatric emergency waiting room, where she had been for nearly 24 hours.
