Two More Deaths

 A 39-YEAR-OLD mentally ill man dies after a perfect storm of failures at St. Elizabeths Hospital. A 32-year-old woman with bipolar disorder who had never received a required mental assessment hangs herself in the D.C. Jail. Meanwhile, a judge determines that 650 people with mental disabilities are suffering because of the "wholly inadequate" job performed by the D.C. government. Each of these events occurred during Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's first 100 days in office. The blame may not be his, but the responsibility for fixing how the District deals with its mentally impaired is.
