Description
On June 18, 1985, the respondent, Charles Whittenberg, voluntarily admitted himself to the Adolf Meyer Zone Center (Adolf Meyer) after sustaining an insulin reaction resulting from his failure to eat. On August 16, 1985, he signed a request for release from Adolf Meyer. On August 23, 1985, Dennis Paul, a mental health specialist at Adolf Meyer signed a petition for the involuntary admission of Whittenberg on the basis that he could reasonably be expected to inflict serious harm upon himself or another in the near future. This petition was not, however, filed in the circuit court until August 27, 1985. The petition was accompanied by the requisite certificates signed by a psychiatrist and a social worker, stating that based on their observations of Whittenberg, he could reasonably be expected to inflict serious physical harm on himself or another in the near future, and that he was unable to provide for his physical needs so as to guard himself from serious harm. On the same date, the circuit court set the cause for hearing on September 4, 1985, and a notice of that hearing was personally served on Whittenberg on August 29, 1985. At the conclusion of the September 4, 1985, hearing, the circuit court found that the allegations of the petition had been proved by clear and convincing evidence and that Whittenberg is a person subject to involuntary admission.
