Looks like youre right.
Interestingly, this didnt receive much (any) media coverage...
Mr Jones and Amal, colleagues at renowned civil rights legal firm Doughty
Street in central London, were currently trying to save the lives of Colonel
Gaddafi’s son Saif and Libyan spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi.
Mental health nurse, Katie McTaggart, who agreed to let him leave, said he had shown no signs of being a danger to himself. The court heard that, under the Mental Health Act, she could have stopped Mr Jones leaving if she was sufficiently worried about his state of mind. Questioned about allowing Mr Jones to leave the hospital at 5am, Ms McTaggart said: “We can't section someone because it's early in the morning.”
She said the form was only “one aspect” of their risk assessment, adding: “We do constant risk assessments as nurses.”
She said: “I didn't have any concerns about him having suicidal plans or planning to harm himself”.

So we'll ignore what the family says then?
We'll believe the nurse who released him and is under investigation....?
This is a failure in the health system, and the conspiracy stops there I'm afraid.

They haven't released the CCTV footage yet.
I would not believe a thing they said until I saw actual proof, such as the CCTV released.
Despite a lack of sleep and being malnourished, he was allowed to go for an early morning stroll which was when he committed his apparent suicide.

Maybe I have become just too cynical when it comes to these kinds of "suicides" where people with access to high-stakes information suddenly go off the rails. Even if I saw the CCTV footage of this man stepping into the path of an ongoing train, I would probably suspect he had been given one of those "special" drugs that make you highly susceptible to suggestion, even by a total stranger.
