2. History of Presenting circumstances
2.1 5/8/16 Mr Cordell was arrested by police at his home after allegations that he had made
threats to harm his neighbour and her children. The forensic medical examiner requested
a mental health act assessment due to concerns about Mr Cordell’s mental state.
2.2 Assessing doctors felt that Mr Cordell presented with features suggestive of mental
illness, in particular paranoid persecutory ideas about the police and his mother Collateral
history suggested deterioration in Mr Cordell’s mental state: that he has been withdrawn
and expressed beliefs that the television is talking about him and paranoid ideas about his
mother alongside recreational use of 'laughing gas' Neighbours had reported verbal
aggression, playing loud music. Mr Cordell presented with pressure of speech, angry and
paranoid ideas about the police and the assessing doctors felt that Mr Cordell had
impaired insight about his condition and required further assessment in hospital.
