After passing out and having trouble breathing, Marcia Powell was supposed to be transferred to a psychiatric unit, since her symptoms may have been related to the meds she was put on. But first she was put in a shadeless dog-run type cage in the Arizona heat and they left her there. She was denied water and restroom access and finally fell into a coma that afternoon. Then, as if that wasn't enough, a bureaucratic official pulled her plug without even checking to see if she had a guardian or any family to notify.
