WARNING MENTIONS SUICIDE: Brendan McFarlane, who should have been under constant observation, died days after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital last year.
A shocking new video has shown oblivious nurses styling each other's hair and scrolling on their mobiles phones while a struggling psychiatric patient prepared to take his own life just feet away.
As reported by LancsLive, he had been classified as Level 3 in terms of risk. Over the one-hour period before he was found unresponsive, the nurses watched him for less than three minutes. For a period of 20 minutes, during which no observations of Bren were made, he used the item in his en-suite bathroom as he went on to take his own life. In the one-hour period before 10.29am, when Bren was found unresponsive, staff had spent less than three minutes observing him.
Top news stories today Detective Inspector Steven Montgomery from Blackpool Police was tasked with investigating the circumstances surrounding Bren's death. DI Montgomery confirmed Bren had not been searched on arrival at The Harbour. Barrister Laura Nash, who is representing Bren's family during the inquest, asked DI Montgomery if he knew what websites or apps had been accessed by the nurse who was seen on her phone. He suggested "social media" but this has not been confirmed.
