Sad story. Good job antiguanewsroom go out there like real.people and report the story. No carbon copy
So ummm… nobody gonna talk about how they sent a suicidal person home???
He ingested poison yesterday and is home today hmmmmm
Well Graham you’d be shocked codolences to the family of Delroy. Tell the browne skin reporter his admirer was here.
Condolences to the family and friends. i think everyone will be baffled by the fact that SLBMC sent home a suicidal patient a day after he tried to harm himself. Also why would the family leave him unattended
lemme touch on how a person who tried to harm himself a day before out home alone the very next day. condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Victor. It would’ve been better to hear his cry and not feel his absence.
My deepest sympathy to his family and friends!
What kind of hospital discharges a person that ingested poison without an ironclad support system in place; was he evaluated by a psychiatrist before he was released? Didn’t the ingestion of poison raise an alarm of possible suicidal ideation; did anyone at the hospital ask him if he was trying to hurt himself?
How did he get to the hospital after ingesting the poison?
I hope my gut feeling of what appears to be negligence is wrong.
Dear Delroy, I click on the news daily reading things about the world. who would’ve known that today i would’ve been reading about you. I grabbed my phone the moment i heard a coworker saying “they found some man by the name of Delroy Victor hanging”, the moment i was over with reading, my eyes filled water and i was asking God to let it be another person or a fake identity. i got the call of confirmation, that you will no longer be here with me. I spoke with you yesterday and you told me that you never knew it was poison. Delroy why didn’t you just speak with me and tell me what’s on your mind. i miss you so much and i have to live with you not coming back to me. Please delroy, wake me up from this nightmare. i ca
I believe the ministry of health and the Hospital or whoever is in charge of caring for those type of person NEED to PAY special ATTENTION to these types of persons when admitted to the hospital on suicide attempts. They shouldn’t be discouraged from the hospital without getting the proper care the follow-up NEEDED government/ hospital NEEDS to provide counseling and ALL the help needed for those individuals while been admitted and after been discharged. Ingested substance that will end your life doesn’t mean when doctors sees you to be physically fit to go back into society means the problems are resolves. This is a spiritual mental, emotional and psychological problem.
You fix one aspect. What about the others? I am so sorry.someone has to go through this.😭😭😭my heart goes out I’m in so much pain. Sooooooo many challenges in life causes people to snap
Did he live alone? Very sad indeed. The young man should have been under a suicide watch given the poisoning attempt before.
The finest hospital in Antigua and the absolutely best across the Caribbean.
Anr can we get some more information please?
What kind of poison did he drink?
Was it accidental?
You guys need to ask
Who?
What?
When?
And why???
Geeez.
My condolences to the family so this is the kind of stupid ness that is happening so he ingested poison stayed in hospital then discharged should have never happened what should have happened is that he should have transferred to clarvue to get further treatment he should have under no circumstances sent home this nonsense must stop these doctors must do their jobs correctly his life could have been saved if the correct protocol was followed and family members should have asked questions and this needs to stop and somebody needs to be answerable why was this not done why was he not transferred to get a Psych Eval and management this nonsense must stop
It sounds like the guy touched alot of lives. It is always sad when someone takes their own life. RIP
We clearly missed an opportunity to save a life here. Having recently been released from the hospital for ingesting a poisonus substance, he should have been carefully monitored and under a 24 hour suicide watch. It is obvious that his mental state was having the better of him and he wanted to die but society should have seen this and acted upon it. We missed an opportunity to save a life.
The fact of the matter is, a person who clearly was on the edge was sent out of the hospital.
Questions to the Arm chair know it all
1. Does Antigua have a fully functional 24 hour social service system to support the hospital with such cases?
2. Was he just sent home without any notice to immediate family members taking into consideration why he was at the hospital in the first place?
After this “ incident”, I trust the relevant authorities will step up to the plate to ensure that this does not repeat itself!
My condolences to his family and colleagues.
Condolences to his family
so he tried to poison himself, went to the hospital, and was discharged after treatment? bullocks.
