He begged for help with his mental health issues as he was escorted out of a hospital.
REGINA — A young man pleaded for help as he was being led out of a hospital by security before taking his own life in a lake on the Saskatchewan legislature grounds.
“I can’t imagine the loss they feel and the suffering they continue to go through,” said John Ash, executive director of acute care, adding Uko was “improperly denied care.”Samwel Uko is shown in a family handout photo. A review of what happened inside a Regina hospital the day a young man sought mental health support twice before his apparent suicide says video footage shows him calling out for help as security led him out of the facility.
The health authority’s review says the young man went to the hospital on the morning of May 21 with “increasing depressive thoughts” and difficulty sleeping, but he denied thinking of self-harm.
