S.A. 13-015 <br />Investigator: K DeGraffenreid Approved By: <br />Date of Report: 7-3-13 Date: 07/09/2013 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />At 0855 hours, pronounced GONZALEZ deceased. UCIMC medical staff then <br />transported GONZALEZ to DH12, Bed 16, to await arrival of the Orange County Sheriff’s Coroner <br />Department Investigator. <br />The UCIMC was under construction and the emergency room was being remodeled. <br />During this remodeling process, the Douglas Hospital set up an interim emergency room in the <br />former oncology treatment center. Douglas Hospital 12 was a multi-room treatment facility, <br />located on the first floor of the north side of the campus. Room 16, was called Bed sixteen and <br />was identified by a six-by-six inch orange and white placard with “16” on it; hanging from the <br />ceiling above the room’s opening. East of the room opening, there was also a two-by six inch <br />placard affixed to the wall that had “DH12(ER) Bed 16” written on it. The room was separated <br />from the hallway by a closed curtain and was located immediately north of the nurse’s station. <br />Bed sixteen’s room was equipped with a hospital bed placed in the middle of the room, a sink <br />and a computer. The room was clean and free from any medical debris other than what was <br />contained on the gurney. <br />At 1030 hours, SAPD Detective JEFF LAUNI arrived at the hospital. LAUNI was in <br />possession of an Orange Police Department Crime Bulletin of a homicide suspect, JESSICA <br />GONZALEZ, with an outstanding warrant (#13CF2017) for a homicide that was committed in <br />Orange, on June 20, 2013. The crime bulletin contained a photograph of JESSICA GONZALEZ. <br />At 1045 hours, LAUNI, MONTIEL and I entered the room of DH12, bed 16 and removed <br />the linens that covered the decedent’s head. LAUNI compared the photo on the crime bulletin <br />to the female lying on the hospital gurney; both appeared to match. The sheets were replaced
