Things no person should have to do or see 💔
A young British army veteran who was traumatised after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq was found dead at his home in Lancashire.
She said: “He said 'I can’t talk about it'. He said he had seen things he didn’t want to tell me about, because he didn’t want me to go through the same thing. He just told me it was horrific and it was horrible and he didn’t want to tell me.” As time went on Ben would drink more and more, she said, adding; “I was walking on eggshells all the time.”
The court also heard how it was suggested that the veteran was badly affected by PTSD as well as a house fire at the family home on September 30, 2015, when a tumble dryer caught fire and Ben was badly burned on his arms, back and head. He was placed into a coma, undergoing skin grafts and losing his hair.
Yet days later, he had been drinking and tried to hurt himself. Sharon Watts, a liaison and diversion practitioner with Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, said that she saw him after he’d been taken into custody but that he wouldn't answer questions, but agreed to meet with a support worker who was an ex services veteran. She said: “He said PTSD was made up, he said alcohol wasn’t a problem.
Ben then returned to A&E with chest pain on October 24, 2018, said Dr Kearns, and had a provisional diagnosis of a clot on his lung. On March 8, 2019, he was brought to A&E by North West Ambulance Service after being pulled out of the sea after a member of the public spotted him. Ben was referred to the mental health team at around a quarter to 12 that evening before being discharged by them at around 6am the next day, said the A&E consultant.
The consultant replied that they would look at factors including whether he had psychotic symptoms or delusions, adding: “At the end of our assessment, we were comfortable in making the decisions that at that point in time he was not detainable,” and said he was advised to go back to Inspire, the self referral private service, and the home treatment team, who would manage mental health issues in non detainable patients, telling the court that he was contacted by the crisis team late that day.
