Family of man who stabbed himself in the neck and chest say smoking cannabis in Amsterdam triggered his mental health problems
The family of one rock climbing expert has claimed that he stabbed himself to death after suffering from a severe form of mental illness which is said to have been triggered after he smoked marijuana on a trip to Amsterdam. 26-year-old Liam Postlethwaite did not have any health problems but is claimed to have changed after he went on a trip with his friends to the Dutch capital in 2011. An inquest held in Preston heard that the young rock climber returned to the UK with major cases of paranoia and once even became so sick that he forgot his own name and had to be kept in a mental hospital.
Then, on January 18 of this year, Postlethwaie had been staying with his parents at their home in Chorley, Lancashire, when his mother found him dying in the back garden with self-inflicted stab wounds to the neck and chest. He died in a hospital a few days later, reported the Daily Mail.
