Child dies in psychiatric hospital
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —A 9-year-old boy has
died after psychiatric hospital workers pinned him
to the floor during a violent struggle.
Randy Steele died Monday afternoon at North
Central Baptist Hospital, a day after the incident
at Laurel Ridge Hospital.
A spokeswoman for the psychiatric hospital
said the boy had been at the locked facility since
Jan. 7.
He reportedly became violent Sunday after
noon and scuffled with two mental health work
ers, she said.
As staff workers restrained the boy, holding his
arms and wrestling him to the floor, he began to
struggle to breathe, spokeswoman Donna Bur-
tanger said.
“Fie was becoming very violent, quite aggres
sive,” Buitanger said. “They were trying to calm
him down.”
Police spokesman Al Ballew said the boy
showed signs of trauma on his face and abdomen.
Until police get an autopsy report, investiga
tors are handling the case as an apparent sudden
death, Ballew said.
“We feel our staff acted professionally and in
full accordance with all operating procedures,”
Burtanger said. “They are specially trained in
methods of physical restraint.”
It was the second time in less than three years
a young patient has died after being restrained by
Laurel Ridge workers.
In August 1997, a 16-year-old girl died imme
diately after a violent struggle with staff members.
The Bexar County medical examiner’s of
fice ruled the girl died from a previous heart
condition.
On Jan. 25, a 15-year-old girl was killed when
she tried to escape the hospital and ran into high
way traffic on Loop 1604.
