Correction chief, staff rebuked in patient death
Patrick acts on �tragic� case of mentally ill man who died in restraints at Bridgewater State Hospital
By Michael Rezendes | Globe Staff March 02, 2014

Deval Patrick on Saturday announced sweeping disciplinary measures against three prison guards and three high-ranking Department of Correction officials for the roles they played in the 2009 death of 23-year-old Joshua K. Messier as guards attempted to restrain him at Bridgewater State Hospital. Patrick formally reprimanded Correction Commissioner Luis S. Spencer for his inaction in Messier�s death, which was ruled a homicide four years ago. He also called for the resignation of Assistant Deputy Commissioner Karen Hetherson from her $117,000-a-year job for overruling a 2011 report that cited two guards for misconduct. Patrick placed three guards on paid administrative leave, saying at least two should face disciplinary proceedings for improper use of force. �Mr. Messier�s death was tragic,� Patrick said. �When tragedies happen during this administration, I expect the responsible officials to get the facts and deal squarely with them. That did not happen here.�
