The type of blood clot revealed in the autopsy of a woman who died after being forcibly removed from a hospital is often “difficult to detect and can be impossible to treat”, hospital officials said Wednesday, while a lawyer representing the woman’s family insisted that both hospital staff and police were negligent.
A woman died after being arrested by police in Blountstown, Florida.
Dawson’s aunt Angela Donar witnessed the incident, according to NBC station WJHG. “If she don’t think it’s right, she’s going to tell them and they don’t like that”. He said that doctors thought Dawson was stable and should be released. “They bought a stretcher out there and took her back in the hospital”. “They did everything they could”.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is opening an investigation into the event.
Dawson was readmitted to the hospital and appeared to be alive when she left police custody, but she later died in the hospital’s emergency department, the police statement said.
‘The most reasonable thing to do is to let her sit there and be able to settle down until she felt well. “Instead, she is forcibly removed and put in cuffs”, Parks told the Associated Press.
“Even the early facts should cause grave concern for her family”, Darryl Parks, of the law firm Parks and Crump, told the paper, “but also grave concern for the public”.
From there Dawson was admitted, treated, and discharged hours later after being cleared by hospital staff. She was complaining of stomach pain.
Police were called in Monday morning, after Barbara Dawson was reportedly being abusive to staff and other patients. The officer placed handcuffs on Dawson and charged her with disorderly conduct and trespassing.
Mallory said the officer who was escorting Dawson out of the hospital asked for help after she collapsed and failed to respond to verbal commands. Staff checked her breathing, her pulse – they all looked fine. “They bought a stretcher out there and took her back in the hospital”.
But Donar, who was at the scene, challenged that account. “So after they got they handcuff off her they told her to bring, no I went there and called her, I said Barbra, Barbra, Barbra”. He said dashcam footage from the officer’s vehicle does not show the incident but does pick up the audio.
The local chapter of the NAACP held an emergency meeting Tuesday afternoon to address Dawson’s death.
