A dementia patient has died weeks after she appeared in video footage begging for food at a scandal-hit care home . Edna Slann ’ s family say her health rapidly faded when she was placed at Grantley Court nursing home in Surrey . Despite a stay of just two months , she suffered an unexplained head wound , lost more than half a stone in weight and was left with a severe infection . Scroll down for video . Harrowing : In footage taken by her granddaughter , an injured Edna Slann tells of being left thirsty and starving by staff at Grantley Court nursing home just weeks before her death . The 89-year-old ’ s death is now the fourth linked to a care home company being investigated by police . Detectives are looking at allegations that patients suffered injuries at Grantley Court and its sister centre Merok Park in Banstead – which were forced to close after inspectors uncovered appalling conditions and shocking neglect . Surrey Police have so far made no arrests , but in the latest development officers searched a home in Cheam , Surrey , two days after Mrs Slann ’ s death . A spokesman said a warrant was used to enable officers to ‘ gather information to ascertain the need for a criminal investigation ’ . Patients were moved to other homes in December following a report by the Care Quality Commission into the two centres run by millionaire owners Soondressen Cooppen and his wife Maleenee , from Cheam . Alfred Dodd , 85 , died from pneumonia less than 48 hours after he was evacuated from Merok Park . The family of Jessie Collins , 91 , who died this month , also believe she would still be alive had she not stayed there . Before and after : Edna Slann is pictured in the late 1990 's , left , and right , in January this year . Mrs Slann was left needing stitches to the head and with severe bruising across her face while living at the home which was evacuated last year . Merok Park ( above ) was evacuated last year after Surrey County Council urged an investigation into standards there . It is owned by the same couple in charge of Grantley Court in Sutton , south London . Former Grantley Court resident Winnie Lake , 91 , died from hypertension two weeks after she was moved out and her family blame the trauma of the sudden change . Mrs Slann featured in a heartbreaking video released by her family last month , in which she pleads to be fed . Filmed in September , she says to her granddaughter : ‘ I ’ m hungry . Have you got anything to eat here now ? I ’ m bloody starving . They keep you bleeding starving in here. ’ The grandmother of one died at a home in Epsom on February 16 and the main cause of death was a stroke , with her foot infection and high blood pressure also believed to have had an effect . Her daughter Linda Cackett , 54 , said she could have lived longer had she not been placed at Grantley Court . She said : ‘ She had been left in such a weakened state by the malnutrition and the infection . She tried to rally round but she got so weak. ’ Mrs Cackett , who believes Sutton Council should have inspected the home itself before sending anyone there , has now started a petition calling for an independent judge-led inquiry into Britain ’ s care system . She added : ‘ What is effectively happening is they are putting a price on these people ’ s lives . ‘ We have had four deaths now from this , how many more people have to die before somebody takes notice that something is desperately wrong in this care home system ? ’
