Title: Rail death jump at Liss Station on 6 June 2015 is ruled suicide Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 15, 2016, 01:13:54 From the Farnham Herald (http://www.farnhamherald.com/article.cfm?id=110642&headline=Rail%20death%20jump%20ruled%20suicide§ionIs=news&searchyear=2016):
Quote Rail death jump ruled suicide (http://www.farnhamherald.com/images/news/2016/Steven-Murphy.jpg) Steven Murphy A suicidal man was allowed to walk out of hospital and call a taxi before leaping to his death from a railway station bridge, an inquest has heard. Steven Murphy, 41, had previously tried to take an overdose and yet was allowed to go on a cigarette break without supervision, before later throwing himself in front of a train at Liss railway station on June 6 last year. The family has criticised staff who allowed him to go outside on his own, against doctors^ orders. A day prior to his death he was admitted to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham after taking an overdose of painkillers. His death triggered an investigation at the hospital and procedure improvements have since been made. Portsmouth coroner David Horsley concluded that Mr Murphy (pictured) ^took his own life while suffering from severe long-term mental health problems^. A spokesman for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust said lessons have been learned and an action plan introduced. I post this here simply as a reminder that there are often very vulnerable human beings behind any 'rail death jump' stories. Our condolences to the family and friends of Steven Murphy. :-X Title: Re: Rail death jump at Liss Station on 6 June 2015 is ruled suicide Post by: ChrisB on May 15, 2016, 09:18:43 Most, if not every time.
Think about this. Would you go & do that right now? No. Anyone in their 'right' mind doesn't.
