Prisoner Homicided by Methadone Overdose - Coverup Suspected







VANCOUVER — The brother of an inmate who overdosed on methadone in a B.C. prison as a result of staff errors says he thinks what really happened was covered up at the prison.
Brian Slatten, of Mission, B.C., says it was several days after 32-year-old Robbie Slatten died last October that police informed him of the death.
“I thought it was very strange they took four days to find me,” Slatten said. “My first thought was, ’This is a coverup.’ ”
And Slatten only learned the cause of his brother’s death — a fatal dose supplied by a rookie nurse — this week after reading about a confidential B.C. Corrections review of Robbie’s death in the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in the Vancouver Province.
The nurse had only been on her second orientation shift and should have been shadowing a regular nurse rather than working on her own, according to the review, obtained through an access-to-information request.
“The government never told me anything,” Slatten said.
What’s more, Robbie Slatten was not registered on the methadone maintenance program.
The review suggests the nurse was tricked because Slatten accessed the photo ID of his cellmate, who was on the methadone program.

Well there you have it.

Staff at the prison claim to have confused this white man with an Arab.

They passed by the dying man several times and did nothing even as he lay against the wall taking in his dying breaths.  I hope there is a video recording of that - perhaps something on it can be used against them. 

The man wasn't even on the methadone program. the staff just though he was.... claim to have confused him for an arab they did....

Sure.

I recommend you folks read this article.  And look at the picture I posted, it is the man who died.  I don't think anyone will get punished for killing this man - he was one of those people.
