How can this happen?
Some people, understandably in some cases, express their views about illegal immigration that is happening. However, this person was here and at university, despite his disability. It seems he 'slipped through the net', judging by the following newspaper article and news report from the BBC.https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/...alised-3054093
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...herts-55130364
Does nobody care enough to realise this person had not been seen for a while, that he may have been in trouble in some way?
The Coroner has raised concerns about this case and bearing that in mind what are your comments?
My comment is that I think it's appalling in this day and age that this can happen! It's not as if there have not been many cases in the past of social services not doing what they should be doing.
A further search revealed this news item from 2014 and yet the above is still happening!

He may have been autistic with mental health problems but one in four people in this country have mental health problems, that also could have been any one of us.
How can any human being(?) just 'forget' someone in this way? It's beyond me I can tell you, not only does it make me very sad it also makes me furious.

Re: How can this happen?
Whilst I'm not unsympathetic it struck me that if he hadn't been allowed to get 9 months in rent arrears they'd have found him sooner. .. though most likely still dead.Care in the community regarding mental health is a tricky area these days. Some might say they should be locked up to ensure they receive adequate supervision, but there isn't the funds or the manpower anymore.
Apparently he was ... "quite angry" about his benefits being stopped and that was why he wanted to end his life.'
Surely his parents are equally responsible whether they're living in the UK or if they remained in Dubai when he came here as a university student in 2009, to later (2012) be diagnosed with Asperger's and personality disorder.
