Description
On July 4, 2022, a San Diego grandmother and her two daughters got the call they feared would come.
Their nephew, 22-year-old Tyler Thatcher-Cox was dead.
Thatcher-Cox, they learned, hung himself with a noose he made from a bed sheet while he was on suicide watch at Aurora Behavioral Health.
Now, the family wants answers. They are suing the hospital after they say staff failed to provide adequate care and did not conduct the 15-minute checks on Thatcher-Cox required by law. And, after finding the 22-year-old San Diego native dead, staff allegedly made changes to his medical chart to make it seem as if they had conducted those checks.
