A quadriplegic man died from a fatal overdose at San Francisco General Hospital, now named after Mark Zuckerberg, after smoking fentanyl and taking oxycodone. Despite his mother's warnings to the nursing staff about the drugs hidden in a red box around his neck, the hospital failed to confiscate them, even after a visitor brought him fentanyl. The circumstances surrounding his ability to use a lighter, given his paralysis from the neck down, are under scrutiny, with suspicions that someone else might have assisted him.

This overdose death at the hospital is deeply disturbing. “He had no use of his hands; how did he light the lighter?” Richard said. “Somebody had to have lit it for him.” https://t.co/fzgA70fYVW

The circumstances of a paralyzed man's fatal overdose at San Francisco General Hospital are raising questions for his family. Like how he got the drugs, why they weren't confiscated and how he was able to use a lighter without the use of his hands. https://t.co/8A9xAPbxxC
A patient smoked fentanyl and died in San Francisco General Hospital. In the days before, his mom told nurses where he hid his drugs—in a red box around his neck. When he overdosed, the hospital gave her the red box. The fentanyl was still inside. https://t.co/u1rlayTD5R
