Barbara Dawson, 57, collapsed Monday while being escorted in handcuffs from the hospital, where she went for treatment for breathing difficulties, Blountstown Police Chief Mark Mallory said. Dawson’s family says she wasn’t ready to leave the hospital because she was still in pain.

When she refused to leave the hospital after being evicted, hospital staff called police around 4:45 Monday morning. Her aunt says Dawson’s oxygen was cut at the hospital.

According to Mallory, doctors detected a pulse as they wheeled her back to the hospital; relatives dispute this, saying a doctor could not feel a pulse while she was on the gurney and that hospital staff was slow to administer CPR. Once they were outside, Dawson collapsed, and the officers removed the handcuffs.

Relatives and state leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) questioned the way she was treated by the hospital and police. Medical staff remained with Ms. Dawson and checked her vital signs on several occasions.

Dawson then collapsed as she arrived at the officer’s vehicle. Ruth Attaway made the announcement during a news conference Wednesday.

At 6:24 a.m., less than two hours after the police had initially been summoned, Dawson died.

Blountstown police said they would continue an internal investigation and have also requested an independent probe by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Instead, she is forcibly removed and placed in cuffs.

“Our staff was very aggressive with her treatment”, Attaway told the newspaper. When Donar objected, saying her niece still needed the breathing help, Donar says she was told, “She’s fine, she’s fine”.

“If they bring her some medicine, she wants to know what it is, what it is for”. It is not clear what she died from or how her condition deteriorated so quickly. Neither the autopsy report, nor the police report, nor the dashcam video of the incident has been released.

A dashboard camera in the officer’s vehicle didn’t capture the incident, but it did pick up audio, according to Mallory.

The local branch of the Florida NAACP held an emergency meeting on Tuesday afternoon in response to Dawson’s death. “They got the doctor to come out there and get a pulse of her and they couldn’t get no pulse”.
