Downey VA Hospital Administrator disputes death by own action charges
Downey Veterans Hospital Administrator Paul Kennedy refutes Lake County Coroner Oscar Lind's claim that five psychiatric patients died by own action. Kennedy says the coroner's testimony lacks specifics and relies on anonymous tips, while the hospital notes ongoing internal review and emphasizes patient freedom and responsibility. Five prior cases involved patients wandering off hospital grounds and apparently jumping in front of trains or plunging from buildings, prompting a federal probe and a coroner's jury finding of personal crisis deaths.
