A 26-year-old man, Jean M. Descamps, was declared 'not a medical problem' by Providence Milwaukie Hospital staff and subsequently removed by police, despite being unresponsive and unable to walk. The hospital had called the police to escort him out after he refused to leave for a homeless shelter. Later that night, after being driven to Unity Center for Behavioral Health by the police, he was found unconscious and ultimately died. This incident raises serious concerns about patient care and the intersection of health services with law enforcement.
