Sectioned man, 33, 'might still be alive' if he'd been kept in hospital, says friend

A friend of a 33-year-old man who had been sectioned but reportedly allowed to leave after two hours says he 'might still be alive' if he'd been kept in hospital.

Liam King, from Porth in Mid-Glamorgan, Wales took his own life after struggling with mental health issues for seven years following the death of his father.

He had attempted to take his own life on a number of occasions and was eventually sectioned for his own safety. However, he left the mental health unit after two hours. Six days later he was dead.
