The hospital is Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. Not a place I would want to be in, even though it is a major instutiion and serves as a teaching hospital to SUNY medical students. The deceased, who was from Jamaica, had been involuntarily admitted to the hospital the previous morning for psychosis, for which she refused treatment. Six people have been fired from the hospital as a result of the incident. Cause of death has not yet been established.

I remember hearing rumors that on nights when the moon was full, there was a spike in the number of suicide jumpers from the roof of Kings County's psycho ward.
