The patient was detained shortly after the theft without incident.
The elderly patient died two days after an altercation with the officers.
Two hospital security officers have been placed on leave as the investigation continues.
The video was released at the conclusion of the state police investigation and was previously shown to the victim’s family.
The Travis County sheriff’s office will add an officer to relieve other officers as they monitor inmates at University Medical Center Brackenridge.
