  45. Death of a patient with mental illness at Shattuck Hospital raises allegations of ‘neglect’

    by Jenifer B. McKim, May 08, 2023, Updated August 07, 2023

    "A 60-year-old Black man committed to #LemuelShattuck Hospital’s #psychiatric ward died a 'painful, untimely death' due in part to the state’s failure to provide adequate health care, according to a report released Monday.

    "#HaywoodEarl, residing at the public hospital in Jamaica Plain, likely would have survived his bout with skin cancer if he’d received a timely diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment, the nonprofit Disability Law Center concluded in a 28-page report."
