ROSARITO BEACH, Mexico, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The Mexican alternative-medicine clinic where Coretta Scott King received treatment at the time of her death has been closed by state officials.
Mexican investigators said the Hospital Santa Monica in Rosarito Beach was shut Friday for at least 30 days for violating health regulations and operating without a proper license, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Its director, Kurt W. Donsbach, has faced numerous charges in the United States.
He said the U.S. government and medical health establishment doesn't approve of his treatments and called the closing a set-up job.
He said Mexican officials inspected the clinic in June and found nothing wrong.
Investigators Thursday said the facility looked like an end-of-life spa that offered alternative treatments but found evidence of hospital care it wasn't licensed to provide.
Francisco Vera Gonzalez, health secretary for the state of Baja California where the clinic is, said there have not been any complaints filed against it.
Investigators also said there is no connection between the clinic closing and the death of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow.
She arrived at the clinic Jan. 26 with her daughter Bernice and a nurse and died Tuesday.
She was suffering from ovarian cancer and suffered a stroke last year.
