The Paragon Gardens facility in Mission Viejo denies the allegations, claiming that the animal was only a field nouse and that Sigmund Bock,90, was merely found holding it.Bock's lawyers, however,cite the report by paramedics,which notes 'possible ingestion of rat poison" and includes the damning phrase "found in room in care facility with dead rat in mouth."
