On Wednesday, May 12, 2011, I was assigned as the hospital watch officer for Inmate
Dement. Inmate Dement was located at Salem Memorial Hospital, Room 4008, in the A
Building.
At 10:38 am, I was notified by the attending nurse, Becky Cool, that Inmate Dement had
only hours left to live. I notified Captain Brown oflnmate Dement's condition.
At 11 :20 am, Inmate Dement expired. Three nurse were in attendance at the time; Becky
Cool, Dorothy VanHess, and Danyelle Ness. Captain Brown was notified of Inmate
Dement's demise. I spoke with Cpl. Panther who inf01111ed me that he had arranged for
Inmate Dement's remains to be picked up by Alternative Burials & Cremation of Oregon.
At 12:42 pm, Oregon State Police detective Sarah Kelly and her assistant Kristina
Manley arrived and assumed control of Inmate Dement. After reviewing and
photographing the body, Detective Kelly called the District Attorney's office and
received clearance for Inmate Dement at 1:10 pm.
At 3 :35 pm, Mr. Mike Tissel from Alternate Burials arrived. I assisted him with loading
Imnate Dement on his gurney and proceeded back to the Oregon State Penitentiary.
