Lawsuit: Staff Ignored Man Choking On Piece Of Orange

SEATTLE (AP) — Robert Kincaid, a patient suffering from schizophrenia, was lying on the floor in a dayroom at Western State Hospital, choking on a piece of orange for almost eight minutes before staff members stopped to help him, according to a federal lawsuit filed by his older brother. When workers finally turned him over and started CPR, it was too late - his brain was starved of oxygen for too long and doctors removed him from life support two days later on Sept.
