A resident of a Thousand Oaks nursing home has been arrested on suspicion of killing his roommate, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies responded at 4:40 a.m. Friday to a call from the Silverado memory care facility on Warwick Avenue about a resident who was agitated and had broken a window, according to a Sheriff's Department news release. The deputies found the resident Thomas Buckley, 58, in a common area of the facility and detained him, authorities said.
Paramedics were called to the scene and Patterson was pronounced dead a short time later, authorities said. Investigators said that before deputies arrived, Buckley had assaulted one of the facility’s workers, causing minor injuries. Patterson's death is being investigated as a homicide. The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death.
