The director informed Ms. Chimbó the following: (…) the patients become restless when the next of kin do not visit them, and regrettably the hospital does not have high walls so it is very easy for them to leave; the personnel cares for them but they are not enough to follow the patients that want to escape, but even so, the personnel is usually monitoring them. 100 57. According to the hospital’s report, that day calls were made to the San Juan de Dios Shelter, to the San Lázaro Hospital, and the morgue, where they were informed that no person with the characteristics of Mr. Guachalá was found. 101 Likewise, the social worker, Jenny Beltran, communicated with the National Police to notify them of the disappearance of Mr. Guachalá. 102 According to the hospital’s report, that same day Sergeant Max Alua came “to obtain the routine information.” 103 For her part, Ms. Chimbó said that she and her Annex 6.
