On the night Ben died, his mum said she spoke to him for the last time at 20:25 GMT and knew something was not right.<\/p>\n
“He was just slurring. I’ve never heard him speak like that,” she told the inquiry.<\/p>\n
Referring to Morris’s written evidence, Troup said: “What you did make out was he was agitated, desperate to get out of the Linden Centre and expressing to you he was going to kill himself or someone else.”<\/p>\n
Morris confirmed that was the case.<\/p>\n
She added that she immediately called the ward that night and was told by staff they heard what he said he was going to do.<\/p>\n
The hearing was told the two staff members working with Ben left work at about 20:30 – half an hour before their shift was due to end.<\/p>\n
Ben was discovered at 21:00. Attempts were made to resuscitate him, but he was declared dead at 21:43.<\/p>\n
He left behind a partner and a daughter, who was two and a half years old when he died.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the night Ben died, his mum said she spoke to him for the last time at 20:25…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-430467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
