GEOFF BOOTH has a long road<br />
ahead of him as he strives for<br />
answers over the death of his son<br />
Liam.<br />
Liam died of suspected suicide,<br />
a terrible thing that leaves families<br />
wondering literally forever why,<br />
and more importantly, could it<br />
have been prevented.<br />
Geoff, from Greendale, has met<br />
with district health board managers<br />
(see page 1) but they were unable<br />
to give him answers.<br />
Geoff has laid a complaint over<br />
Liam’s care. Liam had mental<br />
health issues and was being treated<br />
through Hillmorton Hospital.<br />
Geoff believes Liam should never<br />
have been in a situation to potentially<br />
harm himself – given about<br />
three weeks before his death he had<br />
threatened self harm and was taken<br />
to hospital by the police.<br />
Time will tell whether Geoff gets<br />
the answers he needs.<br />
