Anna Brown
In 2012, Anna Brown, a 29-year-old mother of two kids, had visited several hospitals complaining of pain in her legs. When she was ignored at St. Mary’s Hospital, she refused to leaved, screaming and yelling that she was in pain and couldn’t stand. The hospital had her arrested. The police dragged her out of the hospital and into a squad car. At the Richmond Heights Police Department, she cried that she couldn’t stand up or get out of the car, so the officers dragged her out of the car, into a jail cell, and left her there. Fifteen minutes later she was dead from a pulmonary embolism.
