Bucheon City, a local government under the jurisdiction of Wjin Hospital, said in a report submitted on the 9th that the medical process is detailed during the hospitalization period from May 10 to 27. Among them, according to the medical judgment of medical personnel, medication and quarantine measures such as tranquilizers have been taken, and administrative agencies cannot determine whether the medical personnel's medical judgment violates the law.

In addition, the review of the documents confirmed that isolation and coercion were carried out step by step in accordance with the maximum allowable time after determining the risk of self-harm by a psychiatrist and continuing monitoring.

However, " (on the day of death) On May 27th, from 0:30 to 2:20 p.m., when compulsory performance is implemented, the check of vital signs is omitted, and the employee training is instructed to be conducted on quarantine and coercion-related guidelines."," he added.

A, who was hospitalized to treat diet drug addiction, reportedly suffered from bowel movements and showed intermittent abdominal pain, and complained of severe abdominal pain the day before his death.

In a CCTV video released by the bereaved family, A knocked on the door to let him leave the isolation room (stable room) clutching his stomach, and nursing assistants and guardians took compulsive measures to feed him stabilizers and tie his hands, feet, and chest to the bed. Two hours later, when A, whose stomach was swollen, had a nosebleed and gasped, the medical staff only relaxed their compulsion and left the room without any action, and A later died.

Compared to the time of admission, the bereaved family did not receive medical treatment from the internal medicine doctor of the hospital as well as other hospitals, even though the patient's stomach was severely swollen"It's obvious that my stomach is weird, but I tied it up in a single room until I died and gave him medicine," he said. Accordingly, the bereaved families filed a complaint with the police against six medical staff, including Yang Jae-woong, on charges of abandonment and professional negligence, and filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.
