Opportunities to help a vulnerable man in Nottingham who starved to death were missed, a safeguarding review has found. The body of Errol Graham was found at his home on June 20, 2018 when bailiffs arrived to evict him for failing to pay rent for seven months.
The circumstances of his death have been described as "shocking and disturbing". Mr Graham, 57, was 'emaciated' when he was found dead at home - weighing four-and-a-half stone.
At his flat in Radford, there was no food found apart from a couple of out-of-date tins of fish. Referring to Mr Graham as a “man in acute mental distress who had shut himself away from the world”, Nottingham City Adult Safeguarding Board said "tragically, the interventions by agencies added to his problems by cutting off vital services".
