The whole thing is strange. So this "TheTemple" guy is someone who knew Terry in real life? How is it that he has access to the TempleOS website or was that someone else?

I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

That was someone else.

That said, either TheTemple didn't know Terry was dead when he last posted on the FB account or Terry died after that was posted. People are only assuming the train incident might be Terry because it fits the timeframe and his known location.

Wildgoose on Twitter posted Terry's last video, along with an article about a transient being hit by a train very close to where Terry was "living"

Yeah, at the moment it's pretty much circular quoting of the same information between Twitter, the chans, reddit and here. No-one's been able to confirm whether or not the man hit by the train was Terry yet.

Edit. Therese literally just posted this.

Wouldn't this a reference to her mother and Terry dying in close proximity to one another?

I think it's mostly in response to an early rumour that they had died together in a car crash. People assumed that because the memorial albums had the same date they had died at the same time and location.

I've identified the 4th person in the family who died (there's a tag on the image in the collage on Theresa's page).

Her death seems to have happened only a few days ago.

Mother-in-law's death was announced on her own FB page.

I wonder if Terry's sister is miffed that people care way more about her schizophrenic, homeless brother than her mother or the other two that died.

Nah, their family was already somewhat aware Terry was some sort of an e-celeb. He got interviewed by Vice, no less.
 
I refuse to believe Terry is dead until we get more verification than just a Facebook post. I hope you're still out there ranting about CIA niggers, Terry. :heart-full:

I don't know why /tech/ thinks the father would memorialise a joint account which he still uses to post.

You're right. I shouldn't have implied that it was all Reagan's fault. As you noted there was a social movement to deinstitutionalize as horrors like Willowbrook made in into the public consciousness. I was unaware of states legislating it, be but it was my understanding that when Reagan effectively repealed Carter's Mental Health Services Act, it was the nail in the coffin that ended widespread, longterm mental healthcare.

The Reagan/Thatcher governments of the 80's are definitely implicated though.

Yes, institutionalisation needed to change - SWIM was heavily involved in the asylum closures and replacements of. It was always recognised there would be a core of patients who would need long-term care and the original models called for small, integrated community homes. The idea was that asylum savings, lands etc. would pay for them but even in the UK this didn't work as demolishing the existing structures is dangerous and expensive (the dreadful state of them was another thing governments chose to ignore.) That's why a lot are still standing; the land value is negligible and the costs outweigh the benefit, so the buildings are just lurking there, falling apart.

It took a long time to create community homes that were both homely and met medical and safety needs, every one had to be individually designed, land bought, NIMBYism fought. And the last patients out of the asylums were the most vulnerable, yet they were released even as the community support teams were being disbanded and before a fraction of these alternatives were built. They had nowhere to go, and if you go into many of the old asylums you can find banks of notes, meaning they didn't even have the most basic requirement for continuing care. Social care teams were dialled back at the same time, so not only nowhere to go but no-one to help them navigate meant they fell straight through the cracks. A fair few of them traipse through short-term wards which are not designed for long-term care and are then blocked to those they were intended for, jail and the streets and, apart from those, the saddest place of all - many old asylums have a clique of the dispossessed living in the ruins or the grounds.

It's ironic that this is the core of the "targeted." They're the furthest from targeted; the powers that be do not give a single solitary fuck about them. Yes, the old institutions were done; even the colony ones were impersonal, inefficient and broken down and don't deserve the somewhat romanticised image some now have. But the nothing that replaced them was entirely down to the economic and social outlook of the 80's governments.

End of :autism:

Same. In my mind, he's still running down those glow-in-the-dark CIA niggers...
I refuse to believe otherwise until I've seen some convincing proof.
 
You people are kinda grasping at straws now. Being a hobo is not a good thing and they die all the time. He had a shit life in the end and he was genuinely mentally ill to a point where I'd say he couldn't look properly after himself. It's a disgrace for a rich country that there was no help for him except short stints in jail and getting meds there.

If he's still alive, he'll eventually show up again. The confirmation will be if there will be no news.
 
If there is one thing I'm impressed by, it's that Terry's family still loves and cares about him enough to mourn his death.

Yes, he had legitimate mental issues I'm sure were very trying and taxing, but they still love him enough to mourn him.

Warms my heart to know they care that much.

Frasiers are the term Terry used to describe his doctors and sometimes other people. Generally people in some position of authority. The account has been baleeted, I'm assuming in response to getting posted here. Unless you capped/archived other tweets that would indicate otherwise, I think it's a pretty bet they were an anon who followed Terry between the name, that tweet, and the fact they deleted the account after getting mentioned in this thread.

Don't worry, it was just a made up image to add to Frasier lore
