Jacob Ramirez suffered blunt force trauma to his head and injuries to his chest and lungs after falling out of the window while on psilocybin, according to a report
A Colorado man who was on psychedelic mushrooms during a therapy session fell from the window of a fourth-story hotel room after he was left unsupervised by his counselor, a lawsuit claims.
Jacob Ramirez spent two months hospitalized with serious head and chest injuries following the May 2025 incident at the Spark by Hilton Hotel in Colorado Springs, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in El Paso County District Court, obtained by The Denver Post.
Ramirez had been provided with a tea containing psilocybin or “magic mushrooms,” during a therapy session at the hotel last May 16 with his licensed professional counselor, Rachel McGuire, who then left him alone in the room and drove away from the hotel, according to the complaint
A little over an hour later, Ramirez fell from the fourth-floor window and landed on the concrete below, Colorado Springs police said. A bystander gave him CPR before first responders arrived and took him to hospital.
Ramirez is suing McGuire, as well as her husband, Sheldon McGuire, and the two therapy companies they run: A Sparrow’s Way and Restoration Counseling.
