Dawson had been arrested for disorderly conduct after she refused to leave the hospital, insisting that she needed urgent medical care. While walking to the squad vehicle, she collapsed.
At that point, Dawson wanted the hospital staff to return her oxygen mask because she felt she was having trouble breathing – but a nurse told her she was breathing fine, and denied her request.
Donar told the newspaper that doctors could not find a pulse when Dawson was still outside the hospital.
Some of those visits, too, had ended in conflict – Donar told the Democrat that staff at Calhoun Liberty had called the police on Dawson before, and once kicked her off the premises when she brought a friend in for treatment. Dawson’s family stated in the report that she refused to leave because she was still in pain.
Dawson’s aunt Angela Donar witnessed the incident, according to NBC station WJHG.
Attaway says they have not been contacted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement but have learned through reports they are investigating the death. Instead, she is forcibly removed and placed in cuffs.
By 6:24 a.m., Ms. Dawson was dead. The Agency takes very seriously our responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all patients and to hold those health care facilities who fail to do so accountable to the patients they serve.
During a news conference later Wednesday, Calhoun Liberty Hospital CEO Ruth Atttaway said the hospital would cooperate with state investigators who are looking into the matter and the circumstances of Dawson’s death would be fully reviewed. The early facts of this case should cause a great concern for everyone’. No video of the incident was recorded, but dash camera audio picked up Dawson’s pleas for help to the officer.

“If her death was wrongfully determined, then somehow, someway, there needs to be some sort of recompense to the family”, Dale Landry of the Florida NAACP said in a statement. Once law enforcement got involved, he said, medical personnel and the officer did not take proper precautions given Dawson’s medical condition.
