Finley Boyle, three, died after suffering brain damage following a trip to the dentist. She lapsed into a coma after receiving an array of sedatives and anesthesia in preparation for cavity fillings and root canals. Lilly Geyer was indicted by a grand jury on 37 counts, including manslaughter, medical assistance fraud and assault. Finley Boyle, three, died after suffering brain damage following a trip to the dentist Lilly Geyer (center) was indicted by a grand jury on 37 counts, including manslaughter, medical assistance fraud and assault An autopsy report concluded the heart attack was likely to have been caused by five drugs Finley was given, including Demerol, hydroxyzine and chlorohydrate. She was also given laughing gas and an injection of a local anesthetic, lidocaine with epinephrine, the report said. Geyer's practice, Island Dentistry for Children in Kailua, Hawaii, has since closed. Her lawyer, Michael Green, said his client is currently traveling but he would make arrangements for her to surrender to authorities. He said: 'She's not practicing so they can't say she remains a danger to anybody. 'I'm not unsympathetic to the family of this little girl who died, but this was not a woman who was hell bent on hurting people.' He said Geyer had been distraught since the toddler's death and he was 'really worried' about her mental health.

Geyer's insurance company settled a lawsuit by the Boyle family for an undisclosed amount. Richard Fried, the attorney who represented the parents in their lawsuit, said they were pleased with the indictment. He added: 'I think folks are much more cautious now about credentials and sedation.' An autopsy report concluded the heart attack was likely to have been caused by five drugs Finley was given After Finley's death, the state started investigating Geyer's use of the drugs on patients. The indictment accused Geyer of making false statements to the medical assistance program to get higher compensation than she was entitled to receive. She was accused of illegally administering Meperidine and Chloral-Hydrate. One of those patients was a two-year-old child who suffered serious injury, according to the indictment. A dental assistant at Geyer's former office was charged earlier this year with assault and drug violations for the two-year-old, who was unconscious for 12 hours after she was given the narcotics during a routine checkup.
