An Iraq veteran who died after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder walked out of a psychiatric assessment shouting “I won’t get the support I need from here”, an inquest has heard.
Lance Shingler, who had previously served with the Army in Northern Ireland and Iraq, died on February 13 last year. A three-day inquest into his death is being held at Villa Park.
Susan Orr, a registered mental health nurse, described how Mr Shingler had been driven from Birmingham Heartlands Hospital A&E to the psychiatric decision unit (PDU), at the city’s Oleaster site, on February 5, 2020.
