[h=1]Son 'brutally stabs Virginia state senator father before shooting himself dead' - one day after he was committed to a psychiatric ward but released because there were no beds available[/h]
  • Austin 'Gus' Deeds, 24, stabbed his father Creigh Deeds before shooting himself in the head Tuesday morning in rural western Virginia
  • Creigh Deeds, a veteran state lawmaker and former Democratic candidate for governor, is in critical condition after suffering massive blood loss
  • Gus Deeds took a semester off from the College of William and Mary to help with his father's losing 2009 gubernatorial campaign
  • Gus was evaluated at a mental hospital Monday, but no beds were available so he was released to his parents

Former Virginia governor candidate Creigh Deeds is fighting for his life after he was brutally stabbed by his own 24-year-old son, who then committed suicide - just one day after he was committed to a psychiatric ward but released because there were no beds available.


Deeds, a state senator, is in critical condition at University of Virginia hospital after he was found stumbling away from his home in rural Bath County, Virginia, by a cousin who happened to be driving by.


Deeds was stabbed multiple times in the head and torso and lost large amounts of blood.


The veteran Democratic state legislator's son Gus was found shot dead, as well.


Gus had been evaluated by psychiatrists at a mental hospital on Monday, but could not be committed because there was no room at any mental health wards in all of western Virginia, according to reports.

An official told the Richmond Times-Dispatch Tuesday that a day before the stabbing, Gus Deeds underwent a mental health evaluation at Bath Community Hospital, which was performed under an emergency custody order.

Dennis Cropper, executive director of the Rockbridge County Community Services Board, told the newspaper that Gus Deeds was released later that day because no available psychiatric beds could be found in Western Virginia.

You can pretend mental healthcare doesn't need to be treated but it means people will die and suffer because you lie to yourself
 
You have to treat all people and not just those with money.

Untreated mental illness is rampant in this country

I guess I must be slipping.....

Another tragic death that could have been avoidable if it not for Obama's failure to sign him up for Obamacare and get the mental help he needed.

LOL, Deshy found a way to blame the GOP for this...never mind the fact that daddy could have paid to put his nutso son in a private institution, but chose not to.
