Pablo Orama
Pablo Orama, 62, died of heart disease on March 24, 2014, while held in a federal prison. According to a summary of the case in The Nation, he had visited the prison clinic several times over eight months with chest and shoulder pain. The article says he was given Maalox and told to avoid spicy foods, and that medical records show possibly inadequate care. The details of his treatment and the question of whether he received adequate care are reported in the article, but no official account of the care is given here.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness (neglect alleged). News reporting on prison medical records shows clinic staff gave him Maalox and dietary advice for chest and shoulder pain over several visits before he died of heart disease, a possible failure of care.
