PANORAMA CITY (CBSLA.com) — Detectives Thursday sought the public’s help in identifying a Good Samaritan who carried his friend to an emergency room before he died.
The Good Samaritan was caught on surveillance in the early morning hours of Jan. 31 at the Kaiser Hospital in Panorama City, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
He was carrying the limp body of 19-year-old Ricardo Saiija, of North Hollywood, who was later pronounced dead by doctors.
“The Good Samaritan is not a suspect,” said Det. Gretchen Schultz. “We know the helpful friend was distraught over Ricardo’s situation, but he left the hospital without identifying himself.”
Detectives found evidence that indicated Saija’s death was likely related to a drug overdose.
“The autopsy will tell us more, but in the meantime, we’d like to know what Ricardo was up to prior to his collapse, and his friend might be able to tell us that,” Det. Schultz said.
The Good Samaritan is described as a Hispanic man with a medium build a short hair. He arrived at the hospital in a four-door, American-made car with several other occupants inside, police added.
My guess is if you’re with somebody who dies of a drug overdose you may be liable for prosecution.
You know they want to “interview” him for six or seven hours straight with no bathroom, no food, no smoke break, no windows, no lawyer.
And no junk!
In the immortal words of Bill Cosby; “RIIIIIIIGHT”.
He’s not a suspect. They’ve got him listed as a convict already.
Just a “person of interest.”
Keep in mind that the police are allowed to lie to suspects.
“The Good Samaritan is not a suspect,”
They simply want to thank him and give him a key to the city.
They are allowed to lie, period. To suspects, to the public, and while under oath, to the judge and jury. Just another flavor of “annointed ones,” along with politicians of all size and shape.
Trust us would we lie to you, who do think we are mac daddy?
The guy should get a lawyer, explain the situation and have the lawyer collect the questions in writing that they want to ask. Instruct the lawyer not to identify him in any way. Review the questions with the lawyer and provide an appropriate written response.
I’m surprised he carried him into the hospital - a California nurse told me they’ll often speed up to the emergency room entrance, kick ‘em out on the curb and then speed off - drug overdoses AND dead bodies.
If I were that man, I'd have precisely two words for them.
I wouldn’t have that many.
Delivery of Drug resulting in death. It’s a criminal homicide in PA, graded as murder 3 IIRC.
