A wrongful death, someone dying due to someone else’s negligence in authority, is a tragic and completely avoidable event. At Mancini & Associates, our California wrongful death lawyers want to discuss a recent wrongful death that occurred here in Sherman Oaks—a mental health issue that should have been handled calmly but instead lead to a loss of life.
In July 2018, Tyler Honeycutt suffered from a mental breakdown, and police were called to deescalate the situation, to calmly get him to come to the door to receive the proper medical attention and mental health services he needed.
Instead, police armed themselves and escalated the event so much that Honeycutt then refused to leave the apartment and barricaded himself in the apartment. Mental health professionals arrived at the scene, but only hours later, after being delayed.
A K-9 team and remote-controlled robots entered the scene, but it was too late. Honeycutt had shot himself in the head; he needed emergency critical care, but the police waited hours to treat him, and by then, it was too late.
If anyone would have simply responded compassionately or logically, Tyler Honeycutt could still be with us.
