A mentally ill woman has died in a burning car on the day she was away from a psychiatric hospital, according to reports from STV News West Central.
In Lanarkshire, a woman who had previously attempted suicide multiple times was discovered deceased in a vehicle that was engulfed in flames. The woman had been granted a day pass from a psychiatric hospital prior to the incident.
In 2015, Yvonne Anne Robson, a 51-year-old qualified physiotherapist, passed away.
On May 23, a woman who had been granted a day pass from ward 20 at Hairmyers Hospital was found deceased inside a burning car.
According to sources, Ms. Robson reportedly made two suicide attempts in the two weeks prior to her death, with one occurring just a day before. It has been revealed that her brother had requested that any future day passes be suspended following the incidents, but this request was allegedly not acted upon.
During the Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) regarding her death, it was revealed that Ms. Robson had a history of mental illness. She had been admitted to the hospital in 1989 and was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. Her past was marked by extended periods of mental illness.
On multiple occasions, she made attempts to end her life through various methods such as walking into the sea, injecting mercury into her body, and overdosing on medication, including paracetamol.
According to sources, Ms. Robson was reportedly facing difficulties following the passing of her father in 2013. She was admitted to a hospital from October 9 to November 26 after making another attempt on her life through overdose.
On December 23, 2014, the patient voluntarily returned to ward 20 at Hairmyres Hospital under the supervision of Dr. A, due to a worsening of her illness following her initial discharge.
According to sources, the individual underwent a series of 12 Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT) treatments from January to February. However, it has been reported that no mental state examination was conducted following the conclusion of the treatments.
According to the Scottish ECT Audit Network (SEAN), both Dr. A and Ms. Robson were unaware of the guidance that patients who are “depressed enough” to receive ECT should not drive for three months after recovery.
In April of 2015, Ms. Robson made a request for an overnight pass from the hospital due to her anxiety being described as “debilitating/incapacitating.”
According to sources, the individual in question received advice from Dr. A that it was safe to operate a vehicle. Additionally, Dr. A instructed the individual to notify the DVLA of their medical condition, which they reportedly did.
According to the inquiry, Ms. Robson was reportedly experiencing “extreme anxiety with suicidal thoughts” in May, despite being given a discharge date of June 10, 2015.
According to the FAI hearing, the individual received approximately 18 day/overnight passes. It was revealed that there was no separate documentation kept regarding these passes, nor any written safety plan in place to ensure the individual’s well-being during their use. Additionally, no checks were conducted upon the individual’s return.
According to reports, Ms. Robson made a suicide attempt on May 6 while on a day pass, overdosing on 60 paracetamol tablets and water. This occurred 17 days prior to her eventual death.
After the attempt, it was agreed that Ms. Robson’s day passes would be reduced and her upcoming weekend passes would be cancelled.
On the evening of May 21, according to sources, she contacted her brother while on a pass and disclosed that she had ingested an excessive amount of medication and subsequently vomited.
According to sources, he instructed her to return to the ward and stayed on the phone with her throughout the entire journey. Upon her arrival, he reportedly spoke with the nurse in charge.
In a forceful manner, he made a request that his sister not be given any more passes due to her experiencing a second overdose within two weeks.
On May 23, Ms. Robson left the hospital around midday on another pass, despite receiving assurances from medical staff that the matter would be taken care of.
At approximately 8:30 pm on the same day, a group of individuals discovered a vehicle ablaze on an unmarked roadway near Dunure Road in Ayr.
According to DNA testing, the human remains discovered inside the car were identified as belonging to Ms. Robson.
According to Sheriff TS Millar, who oversaw the investigation, it was discovered that there were multiple instances where the care provided to the individual in question was subpar. These included a delay in receiving psychological assistance and a failure to document concerns expressed by the family.
According to the report, the circumstances were described as a “perfect storm”. The author stated that the pass should have been cancelled and, if not, the family should have been informed beforehand. Additionally, it was noted that Ms. Robson should not have been driving. According to the individual, these precautions would have been considered reasonable.
The Court has extended their condolences to the family of Ms. Robson, joining with others in this expression of sympathy.
The speaker acknowledged the potential difficulty of being reminded of the circumstances surrounding the death, particularly given the length of time that has passed since the event.
