Sean Levert Dies

My heart goes out to the Lvert family, I love them like they were relatives, the only thing we can do now is pray for Strength for the family.

As a nurse practitioner in the State of Michigan, I am confident in saying that Sean's death was caused by gross negligence on behalf of the officials at the County Jail where he was being held. The Warden admitted that Sean was acting strangely. This is called an "acute mental status change", which warrants an immediate emergency medical evaluation by a certified physican. They restrained him instead of calling 911. This is a lawsuit all over the world. The Department of Justice in Michigan warrants a physical exam for any prisioner who has any medical condition. Any health care professional knows that a individual who has a change in cognition is in trouble physically. Bizarre behavior, mental status changes, and anxiety are all warning signs of an individual being in trouble. He should have been sent to the in house nurse, who then should/would have sent him to the ER immediately, as opposed to restraining him. His acting out was caused by anxiety because he knew something was wrong. In addition, if it was known that he had a drug addiction and hypertension (high blood pressure), this is even more of a reason to seek medical treatment. Lastly, if he was being watched, it should have been by an individual with a healthcare license, not a prison guard with no healthcare knowledge or experience. My heart goes out to the whole entire Levert family as well as those who love the Levert family as well as I do. Martha and Eddie are deeply in my thoughts and prayers. After the burial and healing time, hope they obtain a malpractice lawyer. SEAN'S DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF HE WAS SENT FOR A PROPER MEDICAL EVALUATION. THE COUNTY IN OHIO THAT HE WAS BEING HELD IN IS LIABLE DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
