Patient's name: Simon Cordell
Date of assessment: 15/08/2016
1. Referral details and any other precipitating factors
Sgt Ahmed from Wood Green Police Station referred Mr Cordell for a Mental Health Act
Assessment after he had been seen by the FME following his arrest.
It seems that on 14.8.2016 at approximately 17.00hours he was playing music loudly in his
garden when the victim looked out the window. On seeing the victim Mr Cordell is alleged to
have shouted "What the fuck are you looking at? I am going to kill you and your kids,
another elderly witness is reported to have complained that he rarely goes out, nor does his
family visit as he is afraid of meeting Mr Cornell and being abused by him. the police
understand that numerous complaints have been made to the Housing Services about his
behaviour and he had previously been subject to an ASBO Order for one year.
2. Relevant social and medical history
Mr Cordell was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and attended SAFE under Dr Caplan for a
long time. He was arrested for burglary as a young man and was remanded in custody in a
Young offender’s institution for a prolonged period. During this period, he was discovered
making preparation to kill himself by hanging. It is recorded that he has used laughing gas
and LSD.
He was arrested for organizing illegal raves It seems that he. may base his complaints for
Police Harassment as he believes they have obstructed his ability to run this business. It is
reported that he was made the subject of an ASBO, required to wear a tag and believed he
could not go out at all for about a year. He was banned from visiting bams derelict buildings
and factories and had a curfew. Medical: Mr Cordell suffers from Crohn's disease but does
not eat properly to manage his symptoms and will not seek medical advice for this. In 2014
there were many deaths in the family from natural causes especially his grandmother to
whom he was very close. He was assessed for admission in November 2104 but not detained.
During this period, he spent many hours in doors his mother kept smelling gas, but no leak
was detected despite repeated complaints. He felt very ill and spent some days in hospital.
Sometime later it was discovered the gas and carbonmonoxy meters were incorrectly installed
and he was without heating or hot water for 6 weeks.
3. Record of interview with patient (Include where it was conducted who was
present and use of police if required during process)
Seen at Wood Green Police Station and interviewed through the wicket with Dr Albazaz, Dr
Amin and the investigating officer Initially Mr Cordell refused to speak to us lying on the
mattress covered in a blanket. He then jumped up and began to speak to us in a very rapid
manner being very agitated and speaking right up to the wicket. He explained that he did not
trust anyone and that the police had been doing what they could to ruin his business and find
ways to arrest him. He said he had been framed by the police and had won one case against
them and had one case pending. He said he taped everything that was said to him as he may
need the evidence later. He talked about hiring large quantities of equipment for his raves that
he has in storage even though there is no prospect of being able to use it at present He said
the police had arrived at his home 15 strong and had ripped out his close circuit TV in front
of his flat. He said he had been dragged off 2 weeks before for an injection but advised that
he does not have mental illness. He said that 2 weeks ago the Police had arrived with a
warrant and assessed for being Sectioned but that he was able to demonstrate that the
evidence against him was false and that he was declared to be mentally well. He denied using
alcohol or any illegal or street drugs. He said he would not consider admission to hospital as
he is not ill. He claimed he is not able to leave his home and yet he is being charged with
offences and that the police had doctored evidence against him.
