    Report summary

    Anthony John Preston was admitted to The Priory Hospital in October 2013, discharged home on 11 November 2013, and was admitted to The Bradgate Unit four days later after becoming extremely anxious and depressed. He hanged himself in May 2014. Concerns included the lack of robust documentary evidence that his discharge had been communicated to the Leicestershire Crisis Team, the absence of immediate follow-up, and the resulting lack of support for him and his main carer when he was considered at high risk; the report states that no causal connection was suggested between his death and the discharge arrangements.
