Woman dies after being removed by police from hospital
Family members and activists are seeking answers in a woman’s death in a jail cell after she refused to leave a St. Louis hospital after being treated for a sprained ankle.
Family members and activists are seeking answers in a woman’s death in a jail cell after she refused to leave a St. Louis hospital after being treated for a sprained ankle.
Anna Brown, 29, died on the floor of a jail cell within an hour of being dragged from St. Mary’s Hospital in Missouri.
Brown was arrested because she refused to leave, saying she was in too much pain to stand. She was carried to a squad car and driven to the Richmond Heights Police Department where officers carried her into a cell and laid her on the floor. She was found dead fifteen minutes later.
An autopsy of Anna Brown concluded blood clots had spread from her legs to her lungs eventually killing her.
Originally visiting the hospital because of a sprained ankle, Brown was unaware the sprained ankle caused blood clots in her leg.
A doctor at St. Mary’s told police that she was okay to be released, unwilling to properly treat the woman.
At 7:33 in the video after Brown passed away, you can hear an officer in the cell say, “we thought she was drug sick”. However, the autopsy revealed that she had not taken any drugs.
Family, friends, and activists are calling for justice of Anna Brown, demanding answers into the woman’s death.
