A psychiatric technician was indicted Monday for reckless endangerment and falsifying hospital records, including those of a patient who died unattended on an emergency room floor, according to District Attorney Charles J. Hynes.

Easton Royal, 53, is accused of not checking on patients at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, and of claiming on hospital forms he had observed numerous psychiatric patients when he had not, Hynes said in a statement.

One of the patients was Esmin Green, who received worldwide media attention in 2008 when surveillance footage captured her collapsing and dying on the floor.

Royal may face up to 11 years in prison, according to Hynes. It was not immediately clear whether Royal has a lawyer.

Royal was suspended immediately after Green’s death. He later resigned, hospital spokeswoman Adele Flateau said.

Royal was indicted based on evidence from an investigation by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office into Green’s death, spokesman Jerry Schmetterer said.

Schmetterer would not say if any other hospital employees are likely to be indicted.

Green, 49, died of a blood clot when she was left unattended for nearly 24 hours at the hospital in June 2008. Security footage showed hospital employees and other patients appearing to ignore Green when she slumped out of a chair and began to convulse on the floor.

The Jamaican mother of six lay there for an hour until a hospital employee nudged her with her foot and summoned help.

In 2008, the New York Civil Liberties Union alleged hospital records were falsified to show Green had been “sitting quietly in the waiting room” a little more than 10 minutes after she had stopped moving and 48 minutes after she slid to the floor.
