Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) was contacted by Lang's grand daughter and stated, "I'm Jack Lang's grand daughter, my name is Hillary Lang. This article described the situation accurately, but has failed to acknowledge that he's had minor strokes and dementia the past few months. I've taken my grandpa Jack to a neurologist myself and they claimed he was okay, but they'd been putting him on too much medication.This is not my grandpa, he loved my grandma June. This situation is absolutely heartbreaking and unexpected. Please have respect for our family and try to understand our horror and loss. Don't slander him, this is not the same man that helped raise me."
