Investigation by California Department of Public Health stops short of saying patient Alberto Herrera should have been put on mental health hold
Investigative findings released by the California Department of Public Health do not hold Paradise Valley Hospital responsible for failing to detain a patient who died after leaving the hospital’s intensive care unit on Aug. 11, 2022.
First responders found him collapsed in front of a nearby taco shop about an hour after he left, taking him back to Paradise Valley’s emergency department where he died not long after arrival. There are indications that the investigation did explore whether Herrera should have been kept at Paradise Valley on a “5150” hold. Such holds allow holding a person against their will for up to 72 hours if their behavior is believed to put themselves or others in danger or if they are considered to be gravely disabled and unable to care for themselves.
But Herrera’s medical records, which were obtained by Hurtado as the legal guardian of his next of kin, provide additional insight into his behavior leading up to his departure. Hurtado said she cannot understand why caregivers did not heed her request to have Herrera assessed for a mental health hold.
