Weirdness around description of toxicology results
The article as is made it seem as if there were no drugs found in the system. But in fact the referenced articles all make clear that there were drugs found in his system, just not in levels high enough to be attributed as the cause of death. But the article here makes it sound like the entire finding of drugs was thrown out by the subsequent re-evaluations done by his family. In fact, all they did was lower how much his death was attributed to drugs. — Preceding

User DKSwims has attempted to dox me (User jaredrudolph) twice. I'm using my name, so it's expected. They argue my employment at the public defender's office is evidence of bias...
I apologize for the “doxing”. What I should have done is post in the
Conflict of Interest Noticeboard. I was not aware of that process at the time. I still believe the information I posted regarding your possible conflict of interest as an employee of the Office of the Public Defender is relevant given the content of your edits, however, I will refrain from posting on the noticeboard for the time-being in an effort to reach a consensus here. My apologies if some of my replies seem confrontational. They are meant only to address the accusations against me and not as a means to stir personal conflict.
However, my edits added sources and background that contradicted the initial reporting, which proved to be factually inaccurate.
You didn't just add sources and background that contradicted the initial reporting. You deleted relevant facts and you did so in cases where there had been no such contradiction. The first
you made on this page on 1/14/2020 deleted relevant information which was not “factually inaccurate”. Specifically...
“He was found in a home that was not his and in the company of a woman who wasn’t his wife.”
“Adachi died on February 22, 2019 in an apartment in the
North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. The home was not his and news outlets later revealed Adachi was in the company of "a woman who was not his wife" at the time of his death.”
“Adachi died on February 22, 2019 in an apartment in the
North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco.”
Adachi was found dead in a house belonging to a woman named Suzie Kurtz who provided him the keys so that he could entertain a woman named, “Caterina”, who was visiting from “out of town”.[1] “Caterina” was later determined to be a Columbian national named “Catalina”.[2] Adachi and Catalina seem to have been alone at the time Adachi died based on the 911-call.[3] Catalina disappeared after Adachi’s death along with Adachi’s cell phone.[4] If Catalina has been contacted by the media or if Adachi's cell phone has been retreived, nothing further appears to have been published about it or why Adachi was alone with her in someone else’s house. The original text above seems to have been a rather generous summary of all that information, but it was nonetheless removed in your
. This information casts a suspicious and scandalous light on Adachi and that is a light that I'm sure the Office of the Public Defender would prefer not be cast, which makes it suspicious that it was deleted.
Your 1/14/2020
also altered wording that resulted in the omission the role of the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) in refuting the claims of the original autopsy. For reasons stated above, It is relevant that the independent review of the autopsy and the release of information regarding that review was spearheaded by the OPD and the Adachi family. Readers of this article should be aware of the possible conflict of interest. The original text and the replacement text are below:
“The San Francisco public defender's office challenged that conclusion, saying that two doctors and a consultant who reviewed the autopsy determined that Adachi died of natural causes and that drugs were not involved.”
“multiple doctors and San Francisco's former medical examiner came to a different conclusion, determining Adachi died of natural causes related to his "abnormally enlarged heart."
Regarding the differing opinions on Adachi's cause of death. The initial opinion has not been "proven to be factually inaccurate". The cause of death is a matter of debate and different doctors having different opinions on a diagnosis or cause of death is nothing new. It's not even unexpected when one set of doctors are bought and paid for by an involved party. Either way, the affiliations of the doctors issuing opinions on a subject is relevant
That same user has repeatedly deleted relevant sources regarding the "death" section of this article. There is ongoing litigation concerning Wirowick's handling of the autopsy, where Wirowick makes some outlandish accusations. References to this were deleted by DKSwims.
To start: It is not for us to determine if claims made in an on-going lawsuit are “outlandish” and use of that term serves only as an indicator of bias.
Continuing on: I compared the citations used in each version of this page going back across each of our edits. The only source added in your edits concerning Wirowek was this link added on
8/11/2020:
You’ll note by clicking on those links and examining the URLs that the replacement link is actually just a shorter version of the link you cited. I’m not sure why I replaced it and therefore I’ll have to attribute it to my inexperience as a Wikipedia contributor but since it's a link to the same article, I think it's safe to call it a “wash”.
My edits to the death section have been an effort to correct omissions and inaccuracies in the content, most of which are a result of your edits. For example, In your
8/11/2020 edit, Christopher Wirowek is referred to as “The San Francisco medical examiner”. The text you added states that Wirowek determined the cause of death in the Adachi case. Both these claims are untrue. The exact text used was:
“The San Francisco medical examiner, Christopher Wirowek, whose credibility Adachi assailed publicly only three weeks before his death and who has since been terminated because of the handling of Adachi's autopsy report, determined the cause of death to be overdose."
In fact, Wirowek was the Director of Operations for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.[5][6]The Chief Medical Examiner at the time was
Michael D. Hunter and according to the cover page of the autopsy report, the pathologist assigned to the case was Dr. Ellen Moffatt, an associate professor of pathology at
UCSF[7][8] Those two doctors would have been responsible for determining the cause of death. A review of Christopher Wirowek’s LinkedIn page reveals nothing indicating he performed any autopsies or had any role in determining causes of death.[9] In fact his stated duties are all related to public relations, administrative issues, or processes within the office (e.g “Oversaw payroll, budget, purchasing and accounting processes”).[10]
In addition, the content added in your edit on
8/11/2020 incorrectly spelled Wirowek's name as "Wirowick".
They also deleted sources from local news outlets demonstrating the death was unrelated to drugs, and replaced them with press releases from the Public Defender's Office. They then noted in their change summary that they maintained the sources, which is untrue.
It appeared from your additions and edits, in combination with what I believe to be your conflict of interest, that you were promoting the party-line of the Office of the Public Defender. Out of deference to your role as a contributor, it seemed appropriate to cut out the middle-man and simply post the original source of that information (the press release from the Office of the Public Defender)[11]. Whether the source is the news articles or the press release, it would be inappropriate to omit the role of the OPD in the solicitation and dissemination of that information. As I stated above, it is relevant that the independent review of the autopsy and the release of information regarding that review was spearheaded by the OPD and the Adachi family. Readers of this article should be aware of the possible conflict of interest. I stated that I did my best to maintain the content. I said nothing about the sources.
Because there is a pending lawsuit where Wirowick is the plaintiff, there is a financial incentive to misrepresent the facts concerning Adachi's death.
I agree and I would whole-heartedly object to the involvement of Wirowek or anyone associated with him editing this page as it would be a conflict of interest. The implication that I stand to benefit financially from that lawsuit is untrue.
DKSwims please reach out to discuss why you deleted sources.
User:Jaredrudolph My apologies for breaking up the text of your statement above, however there were a lot of accusations that required a reply and I wanted to avoid the proverbial “wall of text” that would have resulted by posting everything in one block. You might want to go back and sign your statements to make this thread less confusing. I would like to reach a consensus on the content of the “Death” section of this page. I believe that involves including all the information from my edits. Which sources are cited is irrelevant to me as long as complete and accurate information is presented without material omissions. I welcome your critique and discussion on the issue.
