Why did he kill Weezer's old bass player after scoring for Wales against Switzerland? Open play: terrorist, penalty: musician?
Ok thanks. - I'm sure it was the copious amount of drugs, rather than Ramsey's goal that killed him, still - can't rule it out though..... I read that Welsh wrote an uncanny account of his death a week before - that almost amounts to a suicide note.
Self-fulfilling prophecy, Piskie. He said that he was going to die and then he took a massive overdose. It's like saying that you're going to buy a new pair of shoes and then going out and buying a new pair of shoes. No mysticism required.
Yes definitely - he was well known to mental health services. I'm surprised there was no litigation. Medical negligence lawsuits are all too prevalent in the U.S
Might be a bit much to expect them to check his Twitter account, but you'd have thought that some of his friends might have noticed. I guess substance abuse and mental health issues might have alienated virtually everyone by the end. Sad.
Possibly - I work in psychological services and whilst accountability wouldn't stretch as far as checking social network sites, I'm almost certain that there would have been other alerting behaviours. It would certainly come up in an inquest though in the UK and I'm sure in the U.S. too. I lived in New York for four years when I was training, the medical industry over there is a mixture of cutting edge practice, coupled with a frightening level of litigation. There is no national health service, just lots of private companies, some of which offer a very basic level of care to those on 'welfare' and something very different to those who can afford insurance. The industry is littered with lawyers, all looking for ways to make money out of 'negligence cases'. When I was there, a Doctor was sued $1m for missing a diagnosis on a young boy, who then needed specialist equipment and care (after he was correctly diagnosed) and the lawyers sued the original Doctor again for the cost of the equipment and the ongoing care. For anyone who wonders what a privatised NHS would look like, the U.S. is a frightening example.
