OWA CITY (AP) - A homeless Vietnam veteran whose body was found beneath an Iowa City bridge had been turned away just days before from a Veterans Affairs center and the Johnson County jail.
That's according to University of Iowa police reports obtained by the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Sonny Lovino was found dead earlier this month under a bridge. An autopsy showed he died of hypothermia. His body was found two days after Lovino had repeated run-ins with police.
Advocates for the mentally ill say it's hard to help when people refuse treatment.
