Jonathan Gilmour, 31, was found unresponsive on the floor of his room
A grieving mother fears she may never know the truth surrounding her son's sudden death on a mental health ward. Silvia Gilmour's son Jonathan was found unresponsive on the floor of his room in the Intensive Psychiatric Care Unit at Glasgow's Leverndale Hospital in April, 2021.
Widow Silvia told the Record: “If someone had been in that room with Jonathan they would have seen him stop breathing. They may not have been able to save him, but his chances would have been a lot better. “That can’t happen in 30 seconds. The timeline of events keeps changing and I don’t think I’ll ever really know what happened to Jonathan.”
“They had the cheek to tell me that he was the worst he had ever been in those drug-free days. But he was in withdrawal. I don’t care how challenging he was to look after, at the end of the day, he was in that hospital to be cared for." “People say things like this get easier with time, but they don’t. I’m constantly tortured by everything that’s happened knowing that my poor boy and I weren’t listened to. But at the end of the day, it’s Jonathan who has paid the price.Top news stories today The review into Jonathan's death acknowledged that staff had failed to properly carry out observations in accordance with his care plan.
