Kenneth Monroe, 38, of Murrieta died Wednesday morning after he was taken to Garfield Medical Center in Monterey Park after he was found on the floor of a bathroom at Ingleside Hospital in Rosemead, 7500 Hellman Avenue, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner’s Assistant Chief of Operations Ed Winter said.
