Series of Missteps Uncovered in San Francisco Patient Death
Two weeks after her disappearance, San Francisco General Hospital patient Lynn Spalding Ford’s body was discovered in a stairwell by a hospital engineer. Now, police are working to discover what went wrong, and how to keep it from happening again.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has apologized for his department’s slow and incomplete search for the woman, and he discussed “preliminary findings” at a press conference Nov. 6 to discuss the investigation.
