SINGAPORE : The State Coroner has recorded a verdict of suicide on a patient who was found hanging in a toilet cubicle at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) last August.

The 35-year-old patient, Chan Kum Yew, was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and depression and had been in an out of the hospital since July last year.

The court heard that CCTV footage showed Chan leaving his bed at ward 33A at around 4.40am on August 9 and did not return.

Almost an hour passed before another patient spotted him hanging by his T-shirt in the cubicle located at the far end of the restroom.

The patient informed an assistant nurse who claimed he did not hear any commotion in the restroom prior to the discovery.

Chan had been hearing voices and had thoughts that someone wanted to harm him.

He also tried to hang himself on two occasions before his initial visit to IMH in July last year.

Chan was also frightened of strangers but denied having suicidal thoughts during an assessment. - CNA /ls

Confirmed he is not a mental patient, thinking of ending his own life is a sound mind(at least in sg) Get it??

His will to die is greater then to live, he sees no hope at the end of the tunnel. Best medical care can't prevent a suicide, they can bite their own tongue and bleed to death.

i wished more IMH patients would die. they're allowing them to run wild on the streets too often.
Actually you are right.
I see a lot of people talking to themselves (with no earphones hence not hp) in the streets.

Just in time to promote Great Eastern's mental illness coverage...

SINGAPORE: Barely two months after Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan first raised the possibility that MediShield may be extended to include mental illness, at least one major insurer here has decided to explore the idea for its own coverage.

Making it the first insurer to disclose such plans, Great Eastern told MediaCorp it would be looking into the feasibility of broadening coverage on mental health.

Its spokesperson said the first step is to estimate the adequate cost to provide such coverage, to ensure the risk can be managed over a sustained period.
