    But that is on him. He choose to leave the Hospital before receiving medical care. Question is why would a person with serious injuries discharge himself from the Hospital.

    The person in question is fine as the investigating officer was made aware few days ago. This was provided by a relative on 3/16 to be exact.

    He is either running scared or running mad. Scared they might come after him in the hospital or mad because he wants revenge on the person who did this to him. Either way, it doesn't seem like this will end well. There is something seriously wrong with a person who has serious injuries to leave without being treated. I'm not saying he has to stay in the hospital, but it just seems very strange and that this is not over. More to come.

      It’s a good thing phones have spell check because from really comments, it’s clear you didn’t go far in school if that’s your level of reasoning.

    He left the hospital on his own free will. Truth to the matter is that no one cares. That is for him and his family to worry about.

    They are doing a welfare check only. It is not illegal to to refuse medical treatment or discharge yourself out of hospital against doctor's advice. Is this really the full story? was it that the man was waiting for medical attention and got fed up and left to another medical facility? I also don't blame him because many well people go up to Peebles and die and you wonder. You really wander about the quality of care dispensed at Peebles.

    Kasim just came put of prison. Those police don't care about his well-being, they just want to arrest him and send him back to balo.
