« Lane on Route 195 closed for construction | Today | Update: Teen pleads not guilty to boating-death charges » January 2, 2008State investigates death of psychiatric hospital patientCRANSTON -- The state is investigating the death of a psychiatric patient at St. Joseph Hospital in Providence. The patient died from injuries sustained in a fall off some furniture on Dec. 24. The patient -- whose name has not been released -- was taken to Rhode Island Hospital and died two days later. The Rhode Island Department of Health said it has requested all of the patient's medical records, but it said that it has not gotten all of them from St. Joseph. A spokesman for the hospital says it reported the incident immediately to the proper agencies, including the Department of Health, and that it has launched an internal investigation. -- The Associated Press Posted by Brandie Jefferson CommentsAlly | January 2, 2008 12:46 PM link Because the city of North Providence has a police force? I mean, duh? The SP don't need to be involved in EVERYTHING. Get a grip. If NPPD need help, they'll ask for it. As for the hospital- if I get shot on the front lawn of Fatima, take me somewhere else. EMT | January 2, 2008 2:12 PM link DUH? Is NPPD involved or are they waiting for an invitation. Ally | January 2, 2008 6:01 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Why is it the State Police is not involve in this investigation, especially when it involved someone dying, whose to say it is not some type of homicide. It is strange that when it involves the medical community, many incidents that would usally involve police involvement is not, I think this lack of oversight is fertile ground for coverups, criminal activities and violation of rights.
