Son Beheads Mother, Kicks Her Head Along Street, Then Kills Himself
Two videos may be played on the story link here. They will not post for me. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...t-tragedy.html <script height="400px" width="634px" src="http://player.ooyala.com/******.js#pbid=9ae34776f76145da969becdeb205e6a5&ec =Bjb3dkcTrBs6yQjQuHfn-bcGm_MtmsgL"></script> By Zoe Szathmary and Matthew Black for mailonline.com 31 October 2014 This is the son, (photo 1), who beheaded his mother and kicked her head along the street before jumping under a train in New York. Mentally ill, Derek Ward, 35, decapitated his 66 year old mother, Patricia, on Tuesday night before dragging her body outside their apartment in Farmingdale, New York, in what neighbours thought at first was a Halloween prank. It was claimed today Prof. Ward was two days away from an appointment to get Derek the medication he had been without for four days, that could have saved her life. 'She had an appointment set up for Friday,' her brother, the Rev. Robert Lubrano, told the York Daily News. 'She finally met a compassionate psychiatrist, but she'll never make it to see him.' Describing Derek as a 'sick, sick boy', Rev. Lubrano said Derek had battled psychiatric issues for ten years, but had never shown any signs of violence. He said, 'He killed my sister because we couldn't get the prescriptions he needed. For four days, he didn't have his meds. 'She's dead because he had a mental illness, and we didn't know how serious it was. We're in terrible shock. She was a wonderful person.' Rev. Lubrano told the paper Derek, who had attention deficit disorder and was dyslexic, was too old to be covered by his mother's insurance and they struggled to find a doctor who would accept Medicaid. But, he said they finally found one at a cost of $200 for a 20 minute visit, adding that his sister did 'everything she could to keep him alive'. Derek had apparently sat with his mother's mutilated body for a few minutes inside their blood spattered home following the brutal attack before taking it outside and kicking her head 20 feet. Neighbours initially thought it was part of a Halloween prank and tried to pick up the body. As they were doing so, Derek jumped in front of an oncoming Long Island Rail Road, (LIRR), train. He said Derek's behaviour had become increasingly erratic in the days leading up to the tragedy, describing how, one evening, she had dropped a fork while making him dinner, making him angry. 'He said the noise hurt his head,' Rev Lubrano said. 'She was begging him to go to the emergency room, but, he wouldn't.' Prof Ward's other son, Robert, died of a heroin overdose in 1997. She was divorced from their father, John. Prof Ward was a much loved teacher of language arts for 28 years at Farmingdale State College, a colleague told MailOnline today. The female victim's body lay in the street on Tuesday night as horrified residents looked on from their homes Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Patrick Calabria, said, 'Patricia Ward was a member of the campus for 28 years. She was well known, well liked, and well respected. The campus is a very sad place today.' Derek was found to be carrying a pistol and 100 valiums when he died. Prof Ward was believed to have suffered multiple stab wounds and broken ribs before she died. She was an assistant professor of language arts at the Long Island Educational Opportunity Center where she worked with high school students who need help to become prepared for college, Mr Calabria added. The victim was a woman in her 60s, authorities said on Tuesday. The suspect allegedly killed himself by jumping in front of a train soon after the brutal killing Neighbors in the Long Island neighborhood reportedly picked up the beheaded corpse only to realize that it was not a Halloween prank but a real victim One neighbour, Nick Gordon, told the New York Post, 'I saw the lady laying right in front and her head was across the street, close to the corner. I thought, ''holy shit!''' He added there was blood smeared down the stairs of the apartment block as if someone had dragged a body. Nassau County Police Department would not confirm today that a decapitation had taken place but were investigating a link between then murder and the suicide. The LIRR issued multiple notices to passengers on Twitter on Tuesday, noting service changes and cancelled trains. One message read, 'The 7.11PM train from Penn due Ronkonkoma at 8:33PM delayed east of Bethpage due to an unauthorized person on the tracks struck by the train.'

Why was a mentally ill person without their meds?

Happens ALL the time. You don't have the cash, you don't get the medicine. A.D.D. And dislexyia do not cause one to go bat shit crazy and play soccer with their mom's head.  I think he had some undiagnosed issues. |

Re: Son Beheads Mother, Kicks Her Head Along Street, Then Kills Himself
Sad, but, true, at least in the US. I have a neighbor, who is a veteran, just diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, and he cannot get a job and had to wait for his meds and insurance. The government doesn't give a shit! They would rather pay for war then to take care of their own, keeping the poor to get more impoverished, and constantly taking away money from our schools to help people stay illiterate and uneducated.  Fortunately, he hasn't yet snapped, but, he has come close. He has PTSD and depression, along with the pain and the addiction issues.  |

It's sad how many Veterans are in this place. He's not alone. But I know that wouldn't do jack for him, knowing that. Aren't there organisations out there for Vets in these situations?

There are, but, even some of their hospitals are under investigation right now. Some patients waiting two years for medical treatment and things like that. Meanwhile, the presidents are sending people to war and not helping them when they return and need help. |

Re: Son Beheads Mother, Kicks Her Head Along Street, Then Kills Himself
Seems theres more mental illness around these days than ever before, and we are in an unusual time when there is more medication produced for mental illness than ever before. Sad. But theres an inevitability to this: he had been without his meds for a couple of days. Hmm, wonder whats the worst thing that could happen......oh wait:  Although one report said that the guy had 100 valium on him???? |

Re: Son Beheads Mother, Kicks Her Head Along Street, Then Kills Himself
Some may see the demise of "mental asylums" as a good thing; a lot of them were Victorian style Bedlam places, but at least they kept people off the streets who really shouldnt be on them in the first place; happened here in the UK too, they shut down the vast majority of psych wards, moving to outpatient care. Its called "Care in the Community" ffs |

Re: Son Beheads Mother, Kicks Her Head Along Street, Then Kills Himself
America replaced mental asylums with prisons and jails. Must be cheaper  |
