A vulnerable 70-year-old man who was hospitalised after being found stuck in his bathtub, possibly for a number of days, is now the subject of intended wardship proceedings.
The man, who has various medical and psychiatric conditions, lived alone prior to his being hospitalised in May following an unwitnessed fall in his bathroom. His only relative, a niece, resides abroad.
In a medical report opened to the court, a psychiatrist at the hospital described the man’s experience of hallucinations and other psychiatric disturbances.
