The Troubled Teen Industry / Death due to Restraint at Star Ranch RTC- Ingram, Tx
« on: February 27, 2006, 02:25:00 PM »
Having read the postings since Mikie's death and knowing the Travis Co. Medical Examiners Office I think people in Kerr Co. should know the "Truth".
Mikie's body arrived at the Travis Co. ME's office at 7:45 a.m., the autopsy was began at 9:10 a.m. and his body left the morgue at 10:45 a.m.
The Chief ME Bayardo performed the autopsy, had the autopsy report (3 pages) typed, signed, mail and billed by 5:00 p.m. the same day. All this was done before the Toxicology Samples were even delivered for testing.
Now if this were not enough, Bayardo signed and delivered to JP Ragsdale two different cause of death findings both signed and dated 12-5-05. One said Mikie died of "Cardiac Arrythmia" following physical restrain, the second said Mikie died of "Suffocation during physical restrain. Neither of these death findings is an amendment to the other. Both are signed as a final finding.
JP Ragsdale chose only to release the suffocation findings to the press, but this is not to say your local newspapers were unaware of this fact. I emailed both papers the autopsy report and related documents prior to the end of December 05.
In the suffocation finding JP Ragsdale released to the press, the conclusion is contradicted by other findings in the autopsy report. In suffocation the brain is injured by lack of oxygen. If Mikie had a pulse and did not officially died until 2 hours later, then he should have had swelling of the brain. The autopsy report does not note any.
When the Toxicology Report came back two weeks after the autopsy reports final finding it showed Mikie was on two different anti-depressants and a drug prescribed for schizophrenia, which I am unaware he was ever diagnosised with. The levels of the schizoprenia drug in Mikie's system is described as "High Therapeutic Levels" in the Toxicology Report. This drug (Quetiapine) has numerous serious side effects including Cardiac Arrythmia.
In the Investigators Report it notes medical staff at Sid Pederson said it "Felt as if the decedents throat was flat". This could not be the case if Mikie was restrained in a "basket hold" as reported by staff at the Star Ranch.
The above are just some of the facts that have been with held from the public about what really happened to Mikie. I suggest the readers of the local papers demand the truth be published so they can make an informed decision on who they want to vote for in the comming elections.
Remember, You need the truth to correct a problem.
