Description

This is a report on the Commission and its Mental Hygiene Medical Review Board's investigation into the death of Mark Monroe [a pseudonym], a patient on convalescent care status at St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center, while living at an ARC community residence. The major breakdown in communication, in the absence of proper medication protocol, directly led to the death of this client.
