Silent Hill's mental health facilities have always been lacking the appropriate funding and that point has been driven home once more with the poignant death of Leonard Wolf at the Brookhaven Hospital. Leonard Wolf was a well-known eccentric who in his older age became hostile to others due to a worsening mental degradation.
The events surrounding his death are still being investigated, but what is known is quite crucial. At some time during the evening, Leonard had managed to unlock the door of his room, then crawled through some vents and into a sewer connection that remained from previous constructions. The body was found after a day of his reported being missing and a subsequent failure of a sewage treatment facility.
Apparently Mr. Wolf in his worsening condition had sought to flee the grounds, and then found himself in the sewers, where the sewage treatment apparatus promptly consumed him. The investigators claim that it had been a swift death. How he found this particular route out of the hospital though has stumped police investigators. Only now has this particular route been discovered, and some believe that perhaps it did not exist until Leonard somehow forced or broke the vents to connect. One police investigator who wished to remain nameless said, "He would have had to have previous knowledge of this layout to be able to have achieved this sort of progress." The strange hole leading to the vents has since been blocked off and resealed.
The hospital staff blames the meager budget for its insufficient funds to adequately protect patients from themselves. "Stronger doors and more sophisticated locking techniques could have prevented this man's untimely demise," said nurse Tina Branson.
The death of Leonard Wolf follows on the heels of two other deaths at Brookhaven Hospital, the death of Stanley Coleman and an unnamed patient who committed suicide.
This reporter certainly recognizes the importance of these hospitals, despite potentially questionable practices, for whom else is willing to look after these dangerous people? Without Brookhaven, all these hurting people would be on the street.
