Death of Patient Who Died After Being Restrained by MedStarHospital Security Because He Left Without 'Signing Out,' is Ruled a Homicide.

It also said the injuries involved "cervical spinal cord transection" and "vertebral artery compression."

As a nurse, I can tell you that these injuries are EXTREME and indicate that the person(s) restraining this man, most likely face-down, put enough pressure on the back of his neck to completely sever his spinal cord and closed off the main blood vessel going into the area of the brain that controls breathing and heart rate.

I think someone had to have been kneeling or standing on his neck with the full force of their body weight in order to achieve these injuries. If any doctors feel otherwise, feel free to correct me.
