Re: DSL Reportable Death Review
Attached is the Division of Supportive Living’s (DSL) 2000 Annual
report of the reportable deaths reviewed under ss. 48.60(5)(a),
50.035(5) and 51.64, Wis. Stats., (created by 1989 Wisconsin Act 336).
DSL has the statutory responsibility to investigate the circumstances of
a death of a person served by a variety of institutional, residential
and community-based treatment programs overseen by DSL when there is
reasonable cause to believe that the death resulted from the use of a
physical restraint or seclusion, a psychotropic medication, or is a
suicide.
For more information about the Annual Report, the death reporting
procedures or reporting form, please contact the Central Office
Coordinator, Michael A. Peters.
