Suicide
Virgil died by suicide. He had dropped out of education after being "relentlessly bullied", and was on an NHS waiting list while under the "care" of CAMHS.
An inquest returned a narrative verdict saying that his "intent was uncertain" despite him having made two previous attempts at suicide and leaving potential suicide notes in a notebook.
Virgil Rhone. 15. March 3, 2022. Narrative verdict. "Intent was uncertain".
Virgil was "relentlessly bullied" at school & had dropped out of education to be homeschooled. They had recently started college where they had 'found their tribe'. Virgil's death was unexpected.
Coroner criticised CAMHS failings: lack of information sharing between services & lack of continuity of care. CAMHS counselling "ended after six sessions". Virgil should have seen a clinical psychologist a "year earlier". At death they were on a waiting list for more support.
"Virgil was such a supportive person & helped people feel really comfortable with who they were..I think often the people who need help do it for other people". Virgil Died Waiting For Care #DWFC.
