“I have exchanged this act many times and spoke to the very man who did this act,” wrote Lestor Mendoza, a doctor at a York hospital, in a lengthy Facebook post.
“I was there when we brought him the worst news I could imagine, and his loved one is gone,” Mendoza said of Archangel Ortiz.
“I saw his devastation firsthand. At that moment I really didn't see a monster. He simply broke,” he wrote.
“Just the day before, my colleague and I shared our own personal memories of the loss experience with this man. He showed us a photo of someone he loved, a beautiful pink and white necklace and watch engagement gift Because of this, we developed human connections.
It comes after prosecutors confirm that the suspect appears to be in contact with the ICU “for medical purposes including others,” but has stopped releasing details.
The prosecutor also did not disclose his relationship with the person, citing privacy concerns.

“But sadness, fatigue, isolation and lack of mental health and social support services create the rifts that people fall into, and when they do, the outcome can be devastating.”
