My Dad Ex-War Veteran Left to Rot by Mental Health Services!

My name is Carla and I come here with the heaviest of hearts to ask for your support in this matter that has crushed my soul into a million pieces. I’m not one to ask for help, I am the helper, but right now I really need it!

The 5th April 2024 was the worst day of my life….27 Years of longing and searching for my Father to find him finally 3 years ago…To get a call from the Metropolitan Police telling me he was found dead a few days ago in his flat To then find out he was actually found dead on the 19th of fucking February and no one informed me Endless calls all day to numerous services and no one could tell me where my Dad’s body was Not one ounce of compassion has been shown and so many questions unanswered…A whole mental health community team around my Dad and no welfare checks…No concerns raised nothing! Stories don’t add up I was told the community police were flagged down outside his home by a neighbour a few days ago as the neighbour had not seen him for 3 weeks. Now the story is he was being cared for by a neighbour because he was really sick and then next he was causing trouble and starting fires in his home What is it….

I longed for him and loved him my whole life, mental health kept us apart and when I found him he was so happy. He adored me and his eyes were filled with love and pride to have a daughter like me

I am sorry that the system failed you Dad, a war veteran and a sufferer of mental health issues caused by PTSD, I am sorry that you were left to ROT in a home that was not fit for purpose and that you died alone I am thankful that I found you and we spent time together for your birthday and Father’s Day, endless phone calls full of love laughter and reminiscing. Your mental health did not define you and I am gutted that I did not get to care for you as a daughter should and how I would have!

My heart aches for you but I know you felt real love and I will always hold you close. I am so sorry️, Just know that I will not let this rest and those who failed you will be held accountable!

7 weeks my Dad’s body has been laid in a mortuary…7 weeks!!! They tried to take him away as an unknown person but thankfully his neighbour identified him. My Dad was a person with 4 children, 9 grandchildren and many siblings.He was loved beyond measure! How dare the system treat him this way, my emotions are everywhere but what I feel most is anger that not one of these services had the decency to let his family know!

I won’t get the opportunity to say goodbye to him now, to kiss his precious face and tell him he was so loved, because his body will be decomposed all because they have

left it almost two months to reach out.

My Dad deserves to have a send off that shows him he was loved and adored by all who knew him, and I am reaching out to ask for your help to please make this possible! I won’t have much time to arrange anything now due to how long they have had my Dad’s body so please share this far and wide x

On behalf of myself and my younger sister we will be forever grateful for any support received, Thank You x

Until we meet again, I love you Dad❤️ Time was never on our side….

Update!!! 09/04/2024

I would like to thank everyone for your generosity and compassion during this difficult time, you will never truly know how much this means to me and my sister❤️

Today we are day 5 and I have still not had one professional call me regarding my deceased father! As it stands I now know where his body is but am unable to speak to anyone at the coroners office. I have been calling the CMHT, the Police, the GP the Local Authorities and No one has answers and No one calls back. I cannot eat, sleep, be present for my children because I cannot rest until I have information. My Dad went to war for this country and he was not even born here…Now I will go to war for him and bring down every single person who has failed him. Why are they all hiding? What are they hiding? I need answers

No Justice! No Peace!!!!✊
