Flat death woman out of hospital just hours earlier (From This is Hampshire)

Terrible loss of life -my sympathies to the family. Let's hope that if there are improvements that can be made to stop something like this happening, they take place.

"Nick Yeo, chief executive, said: “I extend my deepest sympathy to Victoria Nye’s family and friends at this difficult time. "
yes i sure he is, by closing down mental wards.

what rubbish, anyone who knows anything about mental illness knows that locking people away didn't work. Community care is far better for the patient. The sad case here was that this poor lady was probably in a place where suicide was the only option for her. I would have to ask why she was houses 13 storeys up.

Do you ever read a story and post without having to include your misguided political agenda ?

A poor girl has died here !! condolences to her family and friends.

I too, question why she was allowed to return to a high rise block.
Condolences.

community care works for those that are not so much disturb by mental illness and has for saying community care is better for the patient is only what the top bosses are saying because it saves on cost whitch helps to keep there big pay. oh by the way they are not lock up in those modern mental wards.
nick yeo is one of the hatched people. and they have been warned over the last 12 mths that some thing like this would happen and it will happen again.
13 floors up well it was where she lived when she got attack in her own home and had her break down.

i did read it, but i know more than most what is going on, in the mental health wards. the SP and the WSP have been approach by family and close friends to patients to help stop the closers of mental health wards. and have been attaining every open meeting there has been in the last 12 mths.
so there is no misguided political agenda thats is coming from you. to know what is going on go to meetings and you will know more.

well said southy

its amazing how the truth gets twisted isn't it? the un named friend really needs to come forward because i for one am not happy about these silly things that they have said.. maybe i will be able to tell them the truth! As for what nick yeo has written, if it wasnt for the hospital she would still be here with her family her friends and most of all me her friend, i wish that no one think badly of her as she was amazing.. and will look forward to see if there are anymore lies in the echo tomorrow! R.I.P Vicky xXx

Terribly sad.
Before holding the mental health service responsible the facts need to be known; they can't keep people who they believe to be "non-risk" accommodated indefinitely, nor would they send home someone they believed was a danger to themselves.
This is not a simple political issue Southy; decisions are made individually after assessing relevant risks and patient welfare; let's face it, there would be uproar if non-risk patients were detained against their will.
Unfortunately once someone is released nothing can stop them from self harm in whatever form, so let's not go holding the authorities responsible till the full unbiased facts are known.
My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

whos making it a political issue i am not, but if you want it to be i will make it so but you will regret it, i not the only one on here that has attended the meeting in the last 12 mths, and they all think the same way after attending meetings.
the problem miles is that they are closing down the mental health wards in hampshire just to save money to pay for the trust board.
you take this nick yeo lawer by trade works for the trust about 2 days per mth, earns a yearly wage doing the trust board job that would pay for 4 full time nurses, and he only one of 13 members on the trust board. all the unbiased facts are known the nay family contacted the WSP for there help after trying the libs torys and labour for help but never got any, and the WSP got in contact with the SP and are working together on the mental health wards issue.

Please, before talking on such a sensitive issue and one that affects someone close to me, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. This girl obviously had severe depression and it was tragic how she died but unless she was locked away forever there would always be the risk that this would happen. Stop slagging off individuals, if you have a problem with this man take it to Alan Whitehead.

im sorry but what has my friends life got to do with you two squabbling over mental health wards! they should not of let her out thats final! it is theyre fault as they did not take the time to understand the issues! there are an awful lot of people grieving over this and reading your comments and your more worried about whos right, whos getting polictical or whos not! its pathetic a very intelligent and beautiful girl has lost her life, please have some sort of respect for her family and friends, its just silly competitive behaviour!!!

As the mother of someone who was virtually driven insane herself by her mentally ill partner I have to agree with Southy here. The fact that mental health facilities and wards are closing means that people that need that one on one help are being put at risk. This has NOTHING to do with being locked up against their will. This poor girl, we have been informed by a close friend, DID NOT want to go home. She was forced into leaving somewhere she felt safe to go somewhere she felt anything but safe. Much as we might like a liberal society that deals with mental illness in the community we have to face the fact that nevertheless there are poor unfortunates in amongst us who need the security of the institution either from time to time or on a more permanent basis. It's all very clever assigning them a community psychiatric nurse and team, but that team are not available 24/7. Don't assume those of us against the closure of mental health facilities are for locking up people. We are for the choice of some people to have more support than the current system affords them.

If any kind of debate helps bring this to the forefront and makes the general public more aware surely that is a good thing, and it may even mean that the next poor soul who finds herself in Victoria's position has the support he/she needs when, where and how they need it.

My deepest condolences to Victoria's family.

just pointing out a few facts, but your right this young lady should not of been release well not yet any way it was to early and worse still they put her back in the place what cause the problem in the first place.
but what is going on is the trust is telling the doctors that they must keep to the time scales of getting has many has they can out into the public before a certain date so that they can fully closed down the mental health wards any that are left will have to go into private care. and here is your real reason why she release to early. money before people.
my condolences went out to the family yesterday morning (friday) after i had a phone call telling me it was one of the SP & WSP case files and who it was.

i do understand and im sure her family will take further action to make sure that this situation is avoided so that other families wont go through what everyone has gone through, just at the moment its still fresh and it doesnt help when Victoria's so called friends making pure lies up in the paper, she should be left to rest, its what she wanted but more bad things have been said than good, and it truly isn't fair.

So sad to hear! Victoria obviously did not want to go back to the flat, so why was it allowed??

Is that not classed as neglect on the Psychiatric dept's part???

you all m ake me sick argueing on here after such tradgedy. cant you all keep the piece for the sake off all the friends and family of the poor girl because thats who you should be thinking of at this sad time and all you seem to be doing is upsetting them more

I'm a patient at the DOP and knew Vicky for a week and a half, but friendships in hospital are very intense and you get to know each other very quickly. Vicky was lovely, funny, intelligent and pretty. She said the doctors and psychologist said she wasnt mentally ill and there was nothing they could do to help her so they were discharging her. Her dad phoned the hospital and begged them not to discharge her but they didnt listen to her dad. Vicky said they were meant to find her alternative accomadation BEFORE she was discharged so she wasnt meant to return to living on the 13th floor. All the patients are naturally devastated and we all feel she shouldnt have been discharged and the hospital let her down badly.

That really is awful, it seem's the decision they made has cost her life:O(

We cannot imagine the torment Victoria must have gone through, and how her family will be feeling. None of us commenting here can get anywhere near that, so I suggest we stop trying to score points, and we content ourselves with sending our respects and condolences.

As someone who is training in the counselling sector, i feel so sad that the system has failed victoria. No she may not have been diagnosed as mentally ill, but that does not mean that she didnt have issues that she needed help to address. The system should have regonised this and as a duty of care should have made the appropriate referals to the organisations that could have helped her. Im sure that we have all at some point in out lives suffered from depression, but this doesnt mean that we are mentally ill. I am so sorry to hear of this tragic news and can only express my deepest condolences to her family and friends at this most difficult time. May you be at peace Victoria xxx

I am/was Victoria's godmother. Is it not enough for EVERYONE to read that her father begged for her NOT TO BE RELEASED!!!!! No more needs to be said anywhere.

very good post.

Well done condor man.that comment was pure evil that person had put.I never knew the poor girl but I live around the corner from where she lived and I'm sadened by the tragic news.people shud stop and think before they put horrible comments on here.show some respect.my heart goes out to Victorias family and friends.r.i.p victoria xx

I knew Victoria and know her family, probably her father most. Thank you to those of you who have made sensitive and sensible comments in response to the news of her death, rather than using it as a chat forum for the state of the health service. Gadget_girl wrote clearly about how Vicky was as an inpatient and her most current circumstances, including her loving father's plea not to send her home - all that needs to be focused on here is the tragic loss of a beautiful young girl, nothing else. There is an inquiry underway at the DoP but leave it up to them to discuss what went wrong and liaise with her family, if members of her family read some of the above comments (not all of them obviously) but the more insensitive ones, they would most likely feel very saddened. Think before you type!! Victoria was a happy and bubbly young girl, whose life had been touched with sadness also. She leaves behind a huge void and my deepest love and sympathy goes to her parents, brother and wider family. **** love you Vicky ****

I have been asked something this evening and I couldn't answer it but I really hope one of you can PLEASE?

Did Victoria have herself known by the name Tori and did she live on Northam Estate at any time? I desperately need this answered please.

Thank you.

bigronthestaff, did you know vicky and her friends then?

Well said!! thats what i have been tryin to say all along, you are completely right she was a very happy bubbly girl and i for sure am never goin to forget her!! x

hiya bigronstaff i have just re-read your post, did you mean was it Tori? can i ask who asked you if thats possible please?

Bigronthestaff...can i ask why your asking about Vicky's friends and their names...surely her friends should be left alone so that they can mourn the loss of a special friend - R.I.P special angel

I'm asking about Victoria, not her friends, because I MAY have known her and now I'm concerned for her. This is quite a difficult post to write because of the nature of the story and I'm sorry. I don't mean I'm not concerned for this Victoria's family, but, I used to know TORI, through one of her ex's, Geordie, till she moved out and I would like to find out if they're the same person or not.
I agree, a family should be left alone to mourn their loss and I'm sorry if what I'm asking seems disrespectful.

Sure but, it's not helpful. Communities, being as they are these days, I only know my neighbour as Sue. Sorry south gal. That's all I know.

Vicki will be sorely missed by everyone that was lucky enough to be her friend and have her comapany. R.I.P mate xXx

Hiya, i know of a tori who lived on the northam estate but i dont think she was ever with someone called Geordie, so i think maybe its a different one, but no Victoria didn't go by the name of Tori so please dont worry.

Thank you very much South Gal. My heart sank when I realised my neighbour might have a point about Tori but you have resolved that. Thanks once again.
To say I'm gutted for Victoria's family is not even close. It's such a tragic waste of a young and, by all accounts, a beautiful life. I didn't know you Victoria but Rest In Peace. x

thank you, i think thats one of the nicest comments on here so far, and im sure her father and family will appreciate that thank you again x

I'm shocked that the Echo have finally, belatedly closed the comments on the later story - after Mr Nye posted a wonderful, dignified response. It should have been left there to be read, even if all other comments were removed.
