T&T police investigating death of second patient an St Ann's hospital

Police are investigating the death of a second male patient who had to be rushed from Trinidad and Tobago's only psychiatric hospital at St.Ann's to the Port-of-Spain General two weeks ago.

On Saturday, another patient died after allegedly being beaten by St Ann's hospital staff. The health minister has instructed authorities to suspect the personnel involved and has launched an inquiry alongside the police probe.

So far two of the three nurses who were involved in the incident have been suspended and sources say it's only a matter of time until the third suffers the same fate.
