Death by Psychiatric Drugging at Connecticut’s Correctional Facility
October 7, 2024
Given the recent news of a death due to psychiatric drugging in a State of Connecticut correctional facility, one must consider whether the mental health “treatment” provided by the State is working?
According to news reports, 32-year-old inmate Tyler Cole died in the Garner, Ct., Correctional Institution from accidental “acute intoxication.” Whether the “accidental” “acute intoxication” was the fault of the inmate, or the prescribing physician was not made public.
Cole was provided psychiatric “treatment” in the form of a mind-altering drug cocktail, including methadone; clonazepam (also known as Klonopin), a benzodiazepine prescribed as an anti-anxiety medication; diphenhydramine (antihistamine) and Olanzapine, an antipsychotic medication.
Cole had been sentenced to Garner for less than two months due to a domestic violence incident. News reports do not advise the public information about whether Cole had been diagnosed with mental illness prior to entering Connecticut’s correctional facility or whether he picked up the mental illness(es) inside the facility. The news reports also do not provide the prescription drug dosing levels that caused the “acute intoxication.”

As a follow-up to AbleChild’s report on the less-than-stellar hearing by the Bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump, it seems important to discuss issues surrounding what role the alleged shooter’s parents might have played in the shooting.
First, almost immediately after the shooting incident there were several news reports about a phone call that was made by the alleged shooter’s father, Matthew Crooks, to police prior to the shooting incident.
According to the BBC “The father of the gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump called police before the Saturday shooting because he was concerned about his son.” And the BBC further reports that “Matthew Crooks’ father called police because he was worried about his son and his whereabouts…”
Another news report provides more detail about this phone call.
