COLORADO: A mentally ill prison inmate has died in custody, hooded and strapped to a chair, following a seizure – while guards are caught on tape stood around joking, and failing to attend to his medical needs.

According to the lawsuit filed by the family, at least 16 state prison staff members did nothing to help Christopher Lopez, 35, as he suffered seizures and died after being restrained in a chair, as documented in the video provided to 9News.

Lopez, who suffered from bipolar schizoaffective disorder, had just been released from nine-and-a-half months in solitary confinement when he was discovered lying on the floor in his cell barely conscious. Instead of calling for medical assistance, the guards are alleged to have put Lopez in chains and placed a ‘spit hood’ over his head before strapping him into a chair.

In the video, while trapped in the hood and chair, Lopez can be seen having one or two grand mal seizures before slumping over. It is not clear if any staff saw the seizures as the video camera filming him appeared to be unmanned.
