Daniel Prude’s family knew he needed psychiatric care and tried to get it for him. Instead, his encounter with police hours after he was released from Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, proved deadly.

📝: @BrettDahlberg khn.org/news/youre-goi…
Police would find Daniel minutes later ― naked, acting irrationally. Because he spat in the direction of officers and allegedly said he had the novel #coronavirus, officers placed a white hood, called a “spit hood,” over his head.

Daniel died a week later when his family took him off life support. Image
