According to his testimony, the man was admitted to the emergency room and occupied a stretcher next to that of his daughter. For about an hour, he observed how the patient “kept screaming and asking for help” and even tried to pull out his intravenous lines.

“I even called, because he was trying to rip out his tracks and I stopped a nurse to warn her that he was trying to rip out his tracks and that he was calling for help, and no one went. Within an hour or so, no one came,” the woman said.

The witness explained that at one point he came up for air and, shortly afterwards, the man left the box through another door. It was then that he fell from a height of about five meters outside the building, in the parking area.

“He tore off the tracks, went out on his own and that’s when he fell, but he was admitted,” he has stated.

He also explained that the deceased was known in the neighborhood and had a history of substance abuse. “It is true that he is a drug addict in the neighborhood, I knew him,” he said. He also said that, before falling, he passed by a member of the SAMU: “He looked at him out of the corner of his eye as if to say ‘here he is again'”.

According to what has transpired, the victim was a recurrent patient at Can Misses. It is being investigated whether it was an accidental fall or whether he took his own life.
