Whenever we have someone escape the hospital we check the security tapes and scour the hospital grounds. To just give up without doing a thorough search is ridiculous
Finding her wouldn’t have even needed a thorough search. They could’ve just looked through every door on the fifth floor in a halfhearted search and found her.
They didn't do a very good search. Not even looking out the exit doors close to her room. Why do they have an "exit" sign above a door that only has a landing? She was confused and sitting outside a door that said "exit" it didn't go anywhere?
Reminds me of the man who went to use the bathroom in a shopping mall and went into the back rooms. Died because of locked doors and nobody checked in their business areas. They only checked the public shopping areas. He died a horrible lonely death like this lady. Ignorance in not looking everywhere yet telling the family they looked everywhere in both cases.
@@lisawiles7819- it was a stairwell. Which is why he made a point of her not going anywhere but the landing, she was so confused.
They didn’t check the stairs?😢
What kind of DA searchers were conducting that search??
You mean to tell me no one bothered to walk to that door, on the same hallway where she went missing, and no one thought to open that exit door??
They needed to be sued for being ignorant.
Pitiful search plus terrible cleaning crews! This is ridiculous!!
I agree that's absolutely ridiculous. She could have been saved but nobody cared.
Not my job someone else will do it
You can't sue stupid.
Yeah it almost sounds like it couldn't be the truth, like they were trying to cover something up...
OMG!! How could they not have checked the nearest door. And she was there for days?!?! How terribly sad.
For nearly three weeks!!!
According to an article I read, it was "not common practice" to check the stairwells. Lynne had orders for "close observation" (I've read reports that she was NEVER to be left alone, but also that was changed to being looked in on every 15 minutes) and that the staff member assigned to check on her was called away at 8:30 am and no one took over before Lynne was discovered to be missing at 9:55am.
@caseyvaught4605
8h30 to 9h45 is not three weeks though...
Nobody thought to check that door, knowing where it leads?
More important why the fuck was there a door to no where
It should be a normal part of any security routine to check all fire exits at least once a day from top to bottom... This never should have happened.
You think this wasn't intentional is the first problem... She was murdered...
@@Adasteia The people involved... You think its by chance workers didnt notice a patient leaving? Do you understand how strict the hospital is in keeping account for everyone in and out and thats why everyone is suppose to do their jobs.
it was by design for her to get locked out on that blacony,. It was by design that the security didnt check this spot because they simply dont give a shit.,
@@nemesistyx7415
WTF! LOL Nemesishilarious !
I mute ones like you.!You should have addressed the top one.. Maybe they'd have given a F. You're an accessory ! Do you understand !
@@nemesistyx7415
FO..I just mute ones like you nemesishilarious. LOL !
That's where I'd go out at, the frigging exit door ! For real, too. Anyway, I love taking the stairs just to get that exercise in.
So think about it. That could have been any stair taker and she was kind of incompacitated or at least getting there in a way and that's messed up, because she couldn't go that far, I think.
Wow!!! Never heard this story before...Im a Nurse who works in a hospital, and we've had patients leave/ wander outside, but they're usually found fairly quickly. This is Such a sad story😢 Regrets and condolences to the family.
Someone even reported seeing a woman lying in a stairwell and they STILL didn’t investigate. And this was after she went missing.
Pt. goes missing, we looked in the closet first, if the clothes, and shoes were missing, they were an AMA elopement.
The other big clue was the IV pump and pole with no patient attached😁😁
We didn’t hear about it or the others bcuz of NDA’s signed
Checks $ issued
This is one of the saddest stories. I think the family sued the negligent hospital, but it will never bring their loved one back.
They did sue he said so.but your right no amount of $ will ever make up for what their negligence caused!
Never brings the loved one back. I'm so sad this happened.
The video literally says they sued and were awarded 3 million bucks.
Btw do you happen to be the team leader of the search team responsible for finding Lynn?
Her family really had no reason to get money out of this if she wasn't supporting them.
I used to visit my aunt in assisted living every other day or so, sometimes every day. She had dementia and mobility issues. A couple of times I opened the elevator door, to find her standing there with her walker. She'd been standing there for a long time. She knew how to go in and select the floor. She'd go in, get to the floor, and the doors would close before she could get out. She didn't know how to open the doors. She could operate the TV, but not the lift chair that I got her. It had two buttons; one for up and one for down. I eventually had to move her to memory care. I made sure that she wasn't in a Brookdale facility!
That's not a normal assisted living. They wouldn't let her leave her room unattended.
@@figment9625 Independent living provides room and board, and makes nursing, cleaning, laundry, transportation, and entertainment available.
Assisted living provides the same as independent living, but adds help with hygiene, laundry, transport within the facility if needed (wheelchair), distribution of medication, special dietary planning, and enhanced on-call assistance.
Memory care provides all that, and adds facility lock-down, special architecture, time management, hygiene management, continuous assistance, planned mental stimulus, and security in some cases.
In all situations, residents are allowed to leave their room unattended (unless they may harm others).
@@figment9625 accidents happen(escapes) seen it with my own eyes
@@figment9625that’s not true. You’re thinking of memory care.
Right, memory care is secured
was in a hospital where an elderly (naked) woman went missing. I watched her pass my room door multiple times and kept trying to call the nursing staff to let them know. I was blown off and they found her an hour later on the roof.
My grandmother went missing from a hospital She was found wandering Watts a little tiny white 99 lb woman in a hospital gown in a rainstorm. We have no idea how she got from Brea California to Watts Someone must have picked her up. She ended up spending 6 months in a hospital because she had pneumonia.
My mother-in-law her mother somehow ended up outside in a rainstorm the most expensive facility she could afford which was one of the most high-end facilities in San Diego county for a nursing facility for her mother She had used all of her inheritance to put her mother there for her mother's last 6 months of life due to cancer I've always felt sometimes that these people were literally taken outside by someone to get rid of them. My grandmother was a sweet woman who wasn't racist at all Summer fact she was married to an indigenous American so it was no way she would be racist She was sweet adorable and had a beautiful Scottish brogue so the only thing we could think of was someone just walk out the door with her? Maybe using her as cover to get out themselves?
My god, lucky she didn't go over the edge.
uh oh- that’s a bad place. My aunt was in the hospital on the 4th floor and there were 7. She was looking out the window when a nun fell past her -right in front of her. Her brain barely registered what happened but she told a nurse who thought she was hallucinating but only for about 5 minutes because people outside saw her land. I heard someone saw her jump but they kept calling it an accident. My aunt needed counseling because her best friend in high school had recently become a nun. Anyway she was allowed by the church to go see her friend to reassure herself she was alive but she couldn’t interact with her friend who was across the church in anyway whatsoever.
@@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678Some placed do stuff like that as the money disappears…
I’m a nurse, and I have a very hard time believing no one checks an OBVIOUS EXIT! That is a ridiculous level of “DUHHH FACTOR!” Did no one check security tapes? 😮🤨😲😧🙄🤯. AND WHY DID SECURITY MISS IT?? 😪 My work place has the same out patios, so REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND THIS! That patio should have been checked SEVERAL times!???😮
Thank you it seems so much like the bad plot to a movie I can’t believe it real happen no cameras, no one thought to check the exit door on the same floor as the woman simply unbelievable
Yeah, teacher here. It seems even more ridiculous that it was soooo long! Why in the world would it take like 3 weeks to open that door?!!! And why did a door to a landing have an exit sign?!!! It's like it's not the whole story.
It was a freak accident for sure. Not sure why there was no camera there or no guard patrol or why the girl didn’t pound on the door for help??
And why wasn’t her bed and the ‘exit’ door to nowhere alarmed?
Agreed
Normal protocol requires it
Seems FISHY
Did she have an autopsy or C.O.D..?
We're here her organs intact???
This was a really sad story
When I’m married and have kids I’m never leaving any of theirs side during a hospital visit.
That's a very good plan. Even when everything goes :"as it should," bad things can happen when there's no one there to speak for the patient. As a patient you are completely powerless, with strangers around you whose actions will have massive consequences on your life, or even make the difference between life and death.
Good luck with that. You're told to leave and escorted out by security and if necessary by the police. If everyone had a family member stay with them the place would be chaos.
Choose your hospital wisely then there is no need.
How you gonna pay the bills sitting in a hospital room all day?
@@redlipstickmafiaYou’ve been watching too much tv drama🤭 or completely wrong choice of hospital!!!
Visiting hours ARE over!
I live here in the Bay Area where that happened. I still remember how incompetent the staff was!
Right.
I feel for you living in the bay area!! From what I understand,that once beautiful city, is being systematically being destroyed!! We all know why that is! 45% of the hires are, what we like to call in Chicago,the box checkers!! How they look,what deviant sex crap their into,plus must be an immigrant!! This country is going down the toilet!!!
They simply did not care
I worked at SFGH where I can Go out on the balcony and smoke cigs but since they declared the whole property as smoke free, the hospital had the balcony doors on auto lock.
Lesson: keep those exit doors open!!
Exit means out!!
Smoke Free doesn't stop the stench smokers carry with them when they return. Body odor smoke is worse than the cigarettes.
Those doors need alarms. What a sad story.
My Father in law with dementia, was admitted to hospital. All the staff were made aware that he wandered and needed to be watched 24/7. Of course they didn't and he got lost. He was missing in the hospital for 10 hours. He was eventually found behind a door like this, locked out on a fire escape. His cognitive functioning took a huge downturn and he never spoke afterwards. It was terrifying.
Wow, Alexis, that's a horrible story. I feel for you and your family and friends. We go to hospitals for help. We don't expect to come out in a worse state than when we went in.
Awe. I'm so sorry.
Oh wow. That’s awful😔
He must have been so confused. 😢😢
Its like you have to stay with your loved ones and trust no one
What’s even worse is that county hospital has the Sheriffs Department as their security. And cameras everywhere
Obscene
3 million for her death and hospital negligence is revolting
wtf they didnt even look at security cameras?!
A bit stupid having a one-way door out onto a balcony that goes nowhere. There are probably no cameras on that balcony anyway.
How did a month go by and no one e found this poor woman, this is so sad and scary 😢
Wow... what a sad story. You would think they would have checked the landing. I am glad the hospital was sued. Its not about the money, its the loss 😢
It was not enough of a settlement either😢😭💔
thats a messed up story. They could have found her alive but they didn't look. It's also weird that she didn't scream.
She was ill. We don’t know what the illness was but it seems apparent it caused mental confusion.
@@brendatomlinsonLiver and kiddy problems. She had extreme fatigue. She probably did knock at first but no one heard her. Or they ignored it? Then she fell probably asleep before long.
But no one thought to look for her there?
or pound on the door except she was out of it.
@@kristenJacob727 obviously.
19 days. She was dying/dead, feet away from negligent hospital workers for 19 days
She committed suicide. Not sure why the hospital had to pay.
I just looked this case up and it is insane
I wouldn't call that story crazy. I call it very sad.
Hospitals dump people on the sidewalk that don’t have insurance
Where else？
If you are emergent, hospitals are required to treat you, regardless of ability to pay. Now, I'm not saying I think the insurance model is good, it isn't. I've worked in hospitals and for insurance companies (worst job I've ever had) so I know the system pretty well. I think they should be abolished.
“Treat ‘em and street ‘em.” Sadly.
There was a dead-end hallway, and on the other side was a door, and for three weeks while they were looking for her, nobody thought to open THE ONLY FREAKING DOOR she might have used on that floor????
They need to pay them one million per hour for her suffering for three weeks and her family suffering forever knowing what she went through. 😢😢
One thing I know about hospital security/facility personnel is that they seem to know nothing about the spaces they're supposed to be responsible for. I regularly have to service equipment in such places, getting a hold of someone who knows anything about their own equipment is almost impossible sometimes. Makes perfect sense that these places couldn't find a missing person right under their nose.
Sadly, they didn't search the hospital thoroughly enough 😢
9 days. It took 9 days for someone to open that door, even though she'd been taken to the hospital emergency room and her boyfriend gave a nurse information about how Lynn was acting, but somehow not one person thought to open the exit door nearest her room after she "disappeared". HOW is that possible? Honestly, I think Lynn's family should OWN that hospital. What a pathetic search attempt, with a tragic outcome. 😢
19 days-Sept. 19 to Oct.8.
Nearly THREE weeks!!!
If you have a security department that doesn't regularly patrol every part of your hospital, they are useless. They are the reason why she was left there for weeks. Does the security department not have procedures and protocols for patrols? For goodness sake, I worked at a university and we patrolled every damn inch of those buildings. And we documented every damn inch we searched. Shame on the security security. Shame. Shame shame.
That hospital security is useless, my condolences to the family
@peachesnmulder
Yes yes yes your right
That is such a sad story, how awful for the family😢❤
A restaurant I worked at had a chef in the kitchen had an accident where he badly cut his hand and was brought to the emergency room by an employee and brought his inside where he sat on a chair after he was signed in he waited for someone to come help him, someone only came to help him finally When the maintenance worker got tired of having to mop up the blood that was pouring out of this guy’s hand onto the floor the problem with hospitals is once you’re out of sight you’re out of mind. The front line workers are all overwhelmed and overworked and usually are suffering from some degree of compassion fatigue. They know how things ought to be. they are also painfully aware of how things actually are. For example, they can’t be two places at once and that’s not their fault. If the emergency department is chronically understaffed that’s not something that. Is within their power to fix.
I had a miscarriage in July, i was 4months, I went to the er, chest pain, fainting, loosing a lot of blood (was wearing depends), in a lot of pain, active contractions. Did an ekg, blood pressure was really low, pale and sweating sent me to waiting room. Came back and took me for bloodwork and the attending came to talk to me. I stressed I was in a lot of pain and loosing a lot of blood. Told him I was having active contractions. He tells the nurse send her back out there there is no way she is much pain bc she isn’t even crying, I doubt she is in active labor wait till we get the bloodwork back. Went out and sat for an hour, went and asked the nurse for help bc I felt like I was going to pass out and be sick and told her it was getting worse. She gave me an ice pack for my neck to cool me down, told me she would ask the doctor to give me Tylenol and something for nausea. Another hour later and I tried to stand up bc I needed to go change the diaper I had on and fell face first on the floor. The janitor was going to help me up until he seen I was covered in blood. They got me a wheelchair and paged an obgyn. First thing she wanted was a urine sample. I told her it would be all blood but she still wanted it and sent me to the bathroom alone. I went in and sat down. Felt hot, faint, puky but also the need to push. I ended up passing it into
The urine cup. It was stuck and had my cervix held open. Then everyone wanted to rush and help me, and then tried to say “sorry”. I was so pissed no one would listen to me. All of my medical records are at this hospital, they could see I’ve had 10 documented miscarriages I even had to have a dnc there for one bc it wouldn’t pass. Still gives me nightmares and it’s been almost a year. I ended up with iv fluids, antibiotics, clotting meds, iron infusion and almost required a blood transfusion.
The guards and janitors cared more than the staff
What a horrible traumatic experience for you 🥺
I hate it when you're judged by the amount of tears shed regarding someone's pain level 🤨 So wrong.
I just went through one of the most horrible experiences at a hospital near my hometown. I had been scheduled to go in and have stints put in on both sides of my aorta. Mind you that they had canceled my procedure seven different times bc whoever was in charge of the scheduling could never get it right. It was either the doctor was out of the country, or the doctor was not even scheduled to be there; it was just always something. The day before they had informed me to not eat or drink anything after midnight. I got to the hospital at 7 that morning and they were rolling me back by 8:30. These people didn’t even sedate me and I could feel every wire, every tube, every needle, everything. They had cut me on both sides of my groin area and they also had cut me at my wrist to go in. I was in there screaming at the top of my lungs for them to stop, but they kept going. The doctor even took a phone call while he was in the room with me and didn’t bother to go and wash his hands. I felt like they used me to “practice” on like I was an experiment or something. I was treated as if I were a pig that was being slaughtered. This experience has left me traumatized and I’m now having trouble trying to sleep and my nerves and anxiety is so bad that I don’t know what to do. If I had to do it all over again, I’d choose to just live with the blockages and whatever happens, it just happens. He also hit a nerve or something in my back and he’s done something to my right leg that’s causing my muscles to contract. I never want to see that doctor ever again! And I mean never!
@@debrajones4010 wow! So sorry! Praying for healing for your body and mind right now. That’s horrific!
I'm so sorry. I had a terrible experience as well. Please contact several attorneys to pursue a legal action. Sometimes that is the only thing that controls these derelict hospitals and doctors.
When you’re searching the hospital, how do you not search every one of those patio floors?!!!
What really pisses me off is if they knew that she was ill in some way then you would think they would have her under constant supervision incase something happens ya know? I'm sorry that family deserves every penny they got for their loved ones mistreatment. I know some may not agree with me but it's what they didn't do for this poor woman that pisses me off. KEEP HER SAFE.
Exactly. Why would they leave her. Ugh. So infuriating
I got stuck in a stairwell when all the doors locked. There was no sign saying they will lock automatically.
I got out by the only floor that didn’t have an auto lock. It was ironically a secured floor occupied by a credit reporting company! It had security guards at their desk. The elevator doors don’t permit opening without a special pass.
My education at 11th grade work experience: don’t assume a door won’t lock behind.
Oh wow, I would have been terrified.
from the 19th to the 8th and they wach the camera footage seen her walk out the door AND NO ONE CHECKED BEHIND THE DOOR?!?!?! hospitals r sssooo busy n yet so lazy
Just a reminder that heroes dont always work *here*. Hospitals and healthcare in general has gone way down. This is one of many bad stories involving pure laziness and negligent work ethic leading to the death of somebody.
No. When someone is missing, everything needs to be checked. Doors, windows, closets, janitor closet, drains, vents, rooftops, between ceilings, walls, remodeling areas, patient rooms, the freaking broom closet, bathrooms, doors, behind doors, balconies.
I swear this guy is the best story teller on UA-cam
That was needless for her to die like that smh.
Hey MrBallen! Poor woman no one should die alone and scares.
I don't understand no one thought to check the stairways? How did she die by staying on a landing
Probably dehydration or starvation
She was there for 2 weeks so it was likely dehydration, if not that then probably starvation
She had an illness too. So she could have died from dehydration or/and not getting the medical treatment she was there to receive. So sad. Why wouldn't they check every single door in that area, especially?
How do you conduct a thorough search without checking all the rooms and closets and landings? Ridiculous.
Aaron sombody who has gone weeks without eating with very little body fat I can assure everyone she died from dehydration not starvation u fkin morons😅
That's a bad way to go
Spalding, who an autopsy found died of dehydration and liver problems related to alcoholism, was variously described by nurses as being weak, disoriented and prone to getting out of bed and trying to leave after she was admitted Sept. 19. On the morning of Sept.Feb 1, 2014
If she was prone to getting out of bed, then they should have set a bed alarm to alert the staff if she got out of bed.
@robinbailey8491 they should have put her in a locked rubber room. It sounds like she wanted to die. A drunk would have screamed in agony though. It makes no sense she didn't make a sound. I wonder if she blew a blood vessel in her brain that incapacitated her
@@kdallas636 kidney problems. She was confused out of her mind due to intoxication from her kidneys not filtering anything. She most probably lost consciousness very quickly and just quietly passed some time after that.
Nothing to do with alcholism in that moment. Any person wuth kidney failure would act the same even if they had no alcohol in their life.
@alyonaf1054 and where did you get your medical degree from? Mine is from Duke University and the USAF. Without reading her full history, NO one could know what happened to her. Alcohol destroys several organs. Including the brain, liver and kidneys. When one starts failing, the others go with it. Alcohol also changes bleeding times. And drunks frequently bleed out in the brain. Just like cocaine junkies do. And cocaine junkies have a specific cardiovascular lesion too. People destroy themselves with drugs and alcohol. Whatever happened to her, I sincerely hope she's finally at peace.
@alyonaf1054 BTW, you know 1 of the many reasons drunks have kidney disease and damage? Because alcohol is fermented SUGAR. Pouring that into your system DESTROYS it. Just like guzzling sodas and sugar saturated "coffees ". Basically syrup in a cup
Such a sad story, sending my condolences 😔😔😔😔
That is so sad. That's a horrible way to lose a loved one. 🙏💔😥
September 19th, was my mother's birthday in 2013 she would hv bn 89 and suffering from dementia
Not the point but: was that door blue?
What a sad story. That poor woman. I understand why the doors need to be self-locking BUT there should be some kind of system in place where either there is a physical check on the stairwell every hour or it needs to be part of the security camera checks every hour. I'm glad her family was able to make a recovery but I'm also sorry that the hospital would use that as an excuse to raise the price of services do the execs and shareholders wouldn't lose their holdings.
I remember seeing that on the news. I refuse to go to the hospital in San Francisco because the treatment in a hospital in a bigger city is different than in the suburbs and it's not in a good way. I get much better service in the suburbs they go out of there way. I had to have surt once and I was scared of going home the same day the doct let me stay in the hospital for a week until I felt better. I was supposed to go to the hospital in San Francisco and I was supposed to go home a few hours after. I had more personalized care. I was out of it and I always had hospital staff stay with me. I had a beautiful huge room with a giant TV and a view when I went to my suburban hospital.
I’ve worked in both and that isn’t true. This was a freak accident and that can happen anywhere. Medical care in SF is in general, among the best. This was a very strange incident.
@@loievindish6704yup. Those of us who know...know a rural.hospital is always worse....always
My guess: She must have suffered some very altered mental status, the only thing on her mind was she wanted to leave and saw the exit sign and followed it. The picture shown here says that this is not a regular exit door. People don’t think to look there because no one in their right mind use that staircase as a regular exit (again, she was not in her right mind). Once the door shut behind her, she has nowhere to go, no food, no water. She probably died of dehydration. She might have screamed or yelled but no one hears her, plus there’s always a lot of screaming in hospitals. She probably could have followed the stairs to the first floor and escape from there, but again, she was probably not in her right mind.
While I don’t think it’s the hospital fault that they did not know how or when she left, it’s definitely their fault for not looking in those stairs.
It is definitely the hospital's fault. Especially if they knew there were doors that couldn't be opened from the other side.
For almost 3 weeks, they didn't find her, and they were looking for her?
They definitely didn't do a good search. In my opinion, 3 million is not enough for how she suffered and how her family suffered.
That is just horrible. HORRIBLE. And torturously painful for this patient. And the family having to live with this image of their loved one for the rest of their lives - is truly truly cruel.
😢 I DEFINITELY REMEMBERED THIS SAD SORRY TRUE STORY...THE NURSES WERE SO GODLESS COLD HEARTED...IT'S REALLY SAD...MORE THAN YOU KNOW!🙏😢
If you know that the door locks, why wouldn't you immediately check there?? What about the security footage? She died because of laziness.
Awe that is very heartbreaking. Rip.Lynne
My question is: Why didn't her boyfriend accompany her to the room when she was admitted.... how is it that no one opened that door for 3 weeks.... why was there no decomp smells....
$3 million sounds low for what the unfortunate out come was. Keep in mind specially when the cost of a lawyer would take. This is disgusting on the hospital and there lack of qualified security to do there job. Unfortunately that amount of little money will never bring her back.
Never take the first settlement offer!
EVER! They always try to low-ball you
Moral of the story. Always have someone with you every step of the way in the hospital. I think the family knew she had an illness that caused this and didn’t tell anyone. Hospitals are not mind readers and not a prison.
Hospitals are full of patients in delirium. Fever alone can cause confusion. It’s the job of the hospital employees to look after the patients and they failed miserably.
@@pdxxxxxx hospitals cannot have someone at every room at all times. If they knew her condition they may have watched more carefully. With how much we all pay for healthcare I’d say they should have done that for her.
So no one thought to immediately look at the security footage???
My niece and I work in security and if we have someone missing in the building where we work, we search everywhere. That is part of the job, security people should check everywhere, stairwells, basements, etc until the person is found. The security people and the hospital staff had a job to do and that was to locate her ASAP.
This is absolutely horrible! 😢
I like it when people put a price on a loved ones life. Does 3 mil help them grieve
This is why when I did Security, nightshift would do a check of all the fire doors and wells, mainly to test the door alarms but also for something to do to stay awake
I can't believe she wouldn't have pounded on the door or called out. 😢
She was ill.
She was ill and confused
I’m surprised that if there was no way off that landing and the door would lock so you couldn’t get back in, but there’s no alarm signal that the door had been opened.
crazy that they didn't look everywhere
I remember this. The laziest search of that hospital. It was all over the news, but nobody cared enough to really look in the hospital So sad!
I’ll never forget when this happened. All the hospitals changed their policies around allowing people to go onto corridors to smoke or get fresh air. When I was in labor last year I couldn’t even get into these open sky corridors without there being a nurse with me.
I remember when this happened. It was so sad! 😢
If this is true, the family deserves every penny. That was the poorest search ever. She was in their care and they were responsible to keep her safe.
THIS is SAD, & should never had happened…. 😢😢. RIP, Lynn…. 😌😓
That's horrible, was not expecting such a grim ending. This got me mourning a woman I never even met 💔😥
Damn that's messed up may she be with god 😢
America is such an exceptional country.
My condolences to her family & friends
I'm sorry, you're telling me that for nearly 20 days NO ONE took the stairs or even opened the door to them. 🤯
Over 2 weeks...she was out there. Wtf. Sickening.
You'd think someone would step out of her room like Monk or Shaun and look right and left, and think, "Huh, a DOOR!"
The hospital just gave up. Ridiculous.
Whenever one of our patients is ‘missing’ we always search the fire escape stairwells for just this reason.
Wow, crazy story 😊
If her boyfriend stayed with Lynn there maybeshe would be alive . I feel bad for him too.
How long was she there before she got up and walked out of her room? How long would you expect him to sit there?
She was on that landing for almost a month? 😂😂
I6m amazed that it took them 3 weeks to find her! 😱
Part of the security teams HOURLY routine is to walk the stairwells and maintenance hallways. It’s mandatory!
I met her at a party and she was nice. Sad story.
3,000,000 dollars, don't you just love a happy ending.
It's always in the last place you think to look.
This is exactly why I don’t walk through doors
I heard this the other day but it was a mental hospital and patient
We love Brian Allen :)
Poor lady😢
That was insane on all levels
$3,000,000, for a manslaughter, malfeasance, stupidity......!
Damn. Just, damn.
This is a ridiculous situation😢🙏
She sounds like she needed a patient sitter or companion! This is very tragic!! 💔
I remember this incident. It is hard to believe no one checked the stairwell.
My dad did that. He was a very small person. When they found him, he was lying on the concrete floor, so cold, he couldn’t move. When he went through the door, all the exits were locked. He was trapped.
It’s a fire escape, the doors lock in order to prevent people walking back into the burning building
So nobody check the cameras to see which way she went? 😮
How sad that she didn’t scream for help or bang on the door so they knew she was out there. Very sad story
