A former professional footballer who was admitted to a mental health facility was treated “like an out-of-control animal that could only be managed by pumping him full of drugs”, an inquiry into the deaths of more than 2,000 people was told.
Melanie Leahy told the Lampard Inquiry that her partner Colin Flatt, 81, was “subjected to the most appalling neglect and abuse imaginable” before his death in 2021.
