"Upon her arrival ... nobody answered the door," the claim stated. "Mrs. Ramirez was calling into the house, trying to get her brother's attention. Brentwood Police Department was summoned to the home, for unknown reasons.""
""Within a few minutes an ambulance arrived, and multiple police officers and EMT's had to carry Mrs. Ramirez out of the car," the claim continued. "At this point she was covered in vomit and appeared to be unconscious." Yolanda Ramirez was taken to a Kaiser facility in Antioch, then transferred to the John Muir Health medical center in Walnut Creek for emergency brain surgery"
