A seaman, who disappeared from the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after threatening to take his own life, is now back home safe and sound.
Nedd Hilton had to be restrained and brought back to shore by his fellow seamen, who claimed that he ‘freaked out’ and tried in many ways to take his own life.
The 36-year-old seaman told this newspaper that he was initially feeling normal while on board doing his job.
He related that it was only until his third day at sea that he started feeling uneasy. Nedd added that he suddenly started seeing people that his workmates told him don’t exist.
“I de seeing them, them de trying to kill me, I seeing them running behind me and chasing me with cars” said Nedd.
The puzzled man said that he just remembers being brought back to shore in shackles and taken to the Ruimveldt Police Station, where it was advised that he be taken to the G.P.H.C for a checkup as they believed that the man had suffered some kind of a mental illness.
Nedd told this publication that he remembers telling his wife, Devi Thomas that he was feeling hot and wanted to get some air.
“I blank out after that and then suddenly I wake up in the lockup at Brickdam” said Nedd.
A relative to the man told Kaieteur News that he received a telephone call from an Officer at the Brickdam Police Station who related that she got his number from the article published in the Kaieteur News on August 19, 2011 and that the missing man was in custody.
He added that he immediately rushed to the station where he learnt that Nedd was arrested.
He then noted that the charges were dropped after the officers on duty learnt of the occurrence.
The bewildered Hilton Nedd stated that he is still scared and that the things he was seeing were too vivid and frightening.
He refuses to believe that he was seeing those persons because of his mental instability.
