Sarah Arnquist, on the Hootan Roozrokh case: “Now, timing becomes important. The patient must die within an hour of being removed from the ventilator or the organs do not retain enough oxygen to be viable for transplantation.
After Navarro was removed from the ventilator, he continued breathing on his own. Prosecutors allege that Roozrokh tried to accelerate Navarro’s death by ordering 130 milligrams of morphine and 60 milligrams of Ativan in less than an hour.”
