competition: Today's Headlines [July 2]

Surveillance video footage inside a New York hospital has shown a patient lying ignored in the psychiatric ward floor before she collapsed and finally succumbs to her death as workers failed to help.

The 49-year-old Jamaican woman, Esmin Green, had been waiting in the emergency room for nearly 24 hours when the video shows her sliding from her chair and lying face down on the floor at 5:32 a.m. on June 19. A member of hospital staff and a security can later be seen passing by without doing anything.

The staff at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn finally checked on Green after another female patient got their attention, but it was too late to revive her.
