SAN JOSE — Investigators are probing the death of a man who fell out of a window he shattered with a metal oxygen tank while in custody at O’Connor Hospital this week, authorities said.
The man was taken into custody after he allegedly violated a court order, but was admitted to the hospital for a pre-existing medical condition, San Jose polcie said in a news release Friday. Around 2 a.m. Thursday, police said, he assaulted the officer who was guarding him, threatening to strike that officer and a nurse with a metal oxygen tank.
After the officer and hospital staff retreated to call for additional resources, the man — then alone in the room — allegedly used the oxygen tank to smash the window and jump onto a ledge. He fell roughly 20 feet from the ledge, despite efforts from two security guards and the officer on site to intervene, and sustained life-threatening injuries, police said.
The man received immediate medical care and was transported to a different trauma hospital, where police said he was later pronounced dead.
