Disturbing surveillance video shows mother-of-five crawling naked in a jail cell hours before she 'died of starvation' after she was left there for FOUR DAYS when her husband called 911 for help during her psychotic break

Disturbing surveillance footage has emerged showing a mother-of-five's final hours after she was locked up in a Washington state jail for four days when her husband called 911 for help while she suffered a mental health episode.

Damaris Rodriguez, 43, was found dead in her cell at South Correctional Entity, known as SCORE, in Des Moines on January 3, 2018, after she had been incarcerated for 106 hours - despite not being charged with any crime.

The shocking footage, obtained by DailyMail.com, has been described by the family's attorney as a 'window into hell' and captures four days of alleged neglect by authorities.

She is then set down on the floor in the middle of the jail cell, a camera inside the cell shows.

Rodriguez, who seems to be handcuffed, appears limp and does not resist the officers. When they leave her face down on the floor, she continues to lie there barely moving for several minutes, the footage shows. 

Around 20 minutes later, she is then seen being moved into another cell, where she begins walking in circles. 

Footage the following day shows her naked, crawling and apparently vomiting.

One shocking clip dated December 31 shows her naked crouched on the floor and crawling slowly around the cell, before she crawls backwards into the bench and pushes herself underneath it.

Rodriguez lies in a fetal position face down on the floor under the bench and occasionally flails her arms in front of her.

On January 3, in the hours before she died, surveillance shows that Rodriguez's demeanor appears to have deteriorated further. 

Footage shows her drinking water from the tap, gagging and shivering uncontrollably and knocking on the cell door.   

Bingham said the facility's staff were unable to communicate with Rodriguez during her incarceration because she was so mentally ill.

He also alleges that Rodriguez's exact time of death is unknown because it was a while before officials noticed her unresponsive. 

Jose Marte, Rodriguez's oldest son, told CBS that she had a known history of mental health disorders having been diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder in the past.

He also said she had 'never been arrested' before.  

Bingham told DailyMail.com the family was confused by the response given by authorities to their requests to help her.

'They did not understand what was going on or why she was being arrested or why he was not getting medical help as that was what they asked for and what she needed,' the attorney said.

The lawsuit claims that Rodriquez died from ketoacidosis, a buildup of acids in the blood which can happen when blood sugar levels are too high for too long.  

The suit states it is 'an easily diagnosable and treatable metabolic condition'.

He slammed NaphCare which provides correctional healthcare at SCORE, saying it showed 'obvious systemic neglect'.

Bingham said that NaphCare 'leave a trail of bodies wherever they go'.
