A shocking video shows a woman dying on the floor in the psych ward at Kings County Hospital, while people around her, including a security guard, did nothing to help. She had been waiting in the emergency room for almost 24 hours.

The victim was 49 year old Esmin Green. Green had collapsed from her chair and fell onto the floor face down. In the video, it shows that nobody had come to Greens aid. The other patients did not react let alone help out Green. To make matters worse, neither the guards nor the hospital staff came to Greens aid. Staff and security had checked on Green three times. Still, Green was still laying on the floor motionless. In short, nobody came to Greens aid.After an hour, another mental patient finally got the attention of the indifferent hospital workers, according to the tape, obtained by the Daily News.

Worse still, the surveillance tape suggests hospital staff may have falsified medical charts to cover the utter lack of treatment provided Esmin Green before she died.

A federal suit filed last year in Brooklyn alleged neglect and abuse of mental patients at the hospital. The suit sparked an investigation by the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s civil rights unit before the June 19 death.

Green, 49, taken to the unit for “agitation,” keels over out of her chair at 5:32a.m., according to the time stamp on the video. She had been sitting about 3feet from an observation window. Two other patients were in
the room. Green is lying facedown on the floor, her legs splayed, when a security guard strolls by at 5:53 a.m., looks at her for about 20 seconds and then walks away.
