A 63-year-old man was found dead in a prestigious hospital's psychiatric ward with a severed spine five days after police brought him to the facility - now the heartbroken family is demanding officers how their loved one went from patient to homicide victim. Paul Bertonazzi was taken by police to the hospital on January 7, after they were called to a near the clinic to assist with a man suffering a 'behavioral crisis,' Baltimore police said.But shortly after arriving at the psychiatric ward, his daughter Brandy Delp received a call saying her father had broken his neck and needed urgent surgery. She was told he was on a ventilator, and would be a paraplegic even if the operation was successful. Five days after he was admitted, the ventilator was turned off and Bertonazzi died.
