A unknown male in a white hat, jeans, and colored t-shirt entered the room to visit Werner. Shortly after the visitor left, nurses discovered Werner foaming at the mouth. Police are looking to identify the the visitor.

According to Phoenix Police, a suspicious individual showed up at Honor Health's Deer Valley campus last Friday and told the staff he was there to visit Werner.
The man stopped in Werner's room, then left.

"The person did not stay very long," said a Phoenix Police Detective. "He's there for a short time, 15 minutes maximum, then he walks out. The nurse checks on the patient and sees that he's starting to become in distress."

Nurses reportedly found Werner foaming at the mouth and unresponsive. They did their best to save him, but it wasn't enough.

"Something right out of the Sopranos," said friend of man who mysteriously died at Phoenix hospital

I really don’t know what to think here. This case is so odd. This unidentifiable man must be closely tied to the victim in some way, I would think, as somehow he knew to find him in the hospital. I wonder what caused the foaming of the mouth, poison of some sort I assume. How did it get ingested? I wonder what the motive was.

Phoenix police also confirmed there was no surveillance video from inside Werner’s room. They say there no restrictions as to who was allowed in to see Werner during his hospital stay.

This is an intriguing case. Does BW have family? What’s his occupation?

Well that is weird! Maybe that was newspaper mistake? Brandon doesn't even seem like a typical name for a man in his 80s....

Brandon's 2015 FB profile pic looks a lot different than his 2018 pic. Maybe he was mixed up with some drugs and a friend came to give him a hit of something and it was not an intentional murder.

wow- this is a real head-scratcher- will be following.

Police say video would not be released by investigators.

Werner's hospital room was taped off and considered a possible crime scene.

Werner had been at HonorHealth Deer Valley for about a week because of his Type 1 diabetes, something that wasn't uncommon for the 41-year-old.

Must be because he was 41 years old.

Both of those obits seem to contain really weird issues. Obit1 refers to the deceased Brandon Werner as "Curtis" without explanation. Obit2 refers to the deceased Brandon Werner as having parents with surname "Brown" and his wife is "Eleanor Pearl Allen Brown".

I don’t think either one of those is really for him. So strange!!

What a weird case. Even the obit is odd.

I'm not seeing a sketch in the video though.

They were both handled by the same mortuary/crematory. I hope that is the extent of THAT mix up!

I'm curious about why someone would be in the hospital for an entire week for diabetes issues. If he's ok enough to talk on the phone with friends- usually it's stabilize the blood sugar and hit the road. There is more to this than meets the eye. Obviously

Plus the fact that this "wasn't uncommon" for him to be in the hospital for a week because of his diabetes. It'd be one thing if he had some massive downward spiral and was recovering but it was common for him to be there for that long, definitely seems unusual. I wonder if we'll hear of a conclusion with this case ever.
