SACRAMENTO, CA – A heartbreaking tragedy has struck Sacramento, where a mother’s relentless efforts to support her son ended in her untimely death. Lisa Jamieson, 54, was found dead in the trunk of her car, with her son, Richard Jamieson, 24, suspected of being involved.
Lisa was cherished by those who knew her as a devoted mother who always prioritized her family. Her son Richard had been grappling with severe mental health issues, including acute psychosis and paranoia, for a number of years. Despite Lisa’s continuous efforts to aid him, the situation spiraled out of control.
According to court records, Lisa actively sought medical intervention for Richard’s condition. In July, she took him to a physician who diagnosed him with acute psychosis and recommended medication. Unfortunately, Richard ceased taking his prescribed medication, leading to a worsening of his symptoms.
Richard’s struggles with mental health had previously led to several arrests. He was involved in an incident where he assaulted someone and was caught with a controlled substance. Despite these issues, he was released into a community program, showing some signs of rehabilitation.
On the day of the incident, Lisa went to visit Richard but never returned home. Her body was later found by her other son, who went to look for her. The cause of her death is still under investigation, leaving the community and loved ones devastated.
Officials are appealing to the public for any information that could aid their investigation. This incident highlights the complexities of dealing with mental health issues within families and the critical need for comprehensive mental health services.
Friends and family remember Lisa as a caring mother who did everything in her power for her children. The community is grieving her loss and seeking justice.
