Three nearby hospitals with psychiatric units had room for Deedss son on Monday
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...aeccaa-51fd-11e3-9fe0-fd2ca728e67c_story.html
At least three hospitals near Bath County had available beds the day before the son of Virginia state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds apparently stabbed his father and then shot himself to death, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Deedss condition was upgraded to good at a Charlottesville hospital as investigators and mental-health officials continued to search for an explanation of what happened. Austin Deeds, who was 24, had undergone a psychiatric evaluation on Monday, but officials initially said he was not admitted to a hospital because no bed was available.........
Officials with Western State Hospital in Staunton, Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg and the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville all within two hours of Bath confirmed Wednesday that the facilities had been in a position to accept Deedss son but were never asked to.
