Phoenix police ID patient in suspicious death at hospital
Posted
Phoenix police continue to investigate how a patient died at a Deer Valley hospital.
Police on Tuesday identified the patient as Brandon Werner, 41.
A person of interest has not been identified. Investigators are not releasing any video at this time.
Around 3 p.m. Friday, officers responded to HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center, near 27th Avenue and Loop 101, for reports of a deceased patient and a suspicious individual leaving the patient’s room.
Police learned a male had come to the hospital and told staff he was there to see Mr. Werner. He left a short time later.
Moments after the male left, nurses check on Mr. Werner and found him in distress, foaming at the mouth and unresponsive.
Staff tried life-saving efforts but Mr. Werner was pronounced dead.
A cause of death will be determined by the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner.
The individual scene leaving the victims’ room was described as an adult male, wearing a white cap, blue jeans and a t-shirt with multiple colors.
Anyone with information on this case can call 602-262-6141 or 480-948-6377.
