Oregon State Hospital Wrongful Death Lawsuit | Portland News
Description
A family sues Oregon State Hospital and state agencies for the death of Kenneth Hass, alleging years of neglect, abuse, and constitutional violations that led to his fatal water intoxication after being left unattended following a bathroom incident. The suit claims he received no proper diagnosis, spent over a third of his time in seclusion, endured 500+ hours of bed restraints, and suffered from unsanitary conditions—all while staff ignored documented risks. Lawyers argue this isn’t just malpractice but a systemic failure demanding reform and court oversight.
