"Se encontraba internado en un centro hospitalario del Estado de Michigan. del que solicito el alta medica. Cinco horas mas tarde, fallecia"
I've copied this punctuation exactly from my source - I guess the full stop should be a comma though.
From research, I know this guy discharged himself from the Michigan hospital, but is this what "solicitar el alta medica" actually means?
