In March 2014, the Office of Inspector General closed its nearly three year health care inspection of the Tomah VA. The report was not initially shared with Congress and it was only made public after the media exposed these tragedies. On August 30, 2014, Jason Siemkowski died in the Tomahawk Mental Health Wing as a result of, quote, mixed drug toxicity. His autopsy revealed he had over a dozen different medications in his system. Jason's family is also in the audience here today. On January 12, 2015, Candace Deles brought her father, Thomas Baer, to the Tomahaw VA Urgent Care Center. With stroke like symptoms. (01:31–01:45)
