"Lowe said Cauchi was diagnosed with a mental illness when he was 17.
Police believe Cauchi lived with schizophrenia and used drugs including methamphetamine and psychedelics."
I can't imagine a worse combination of a drug cocktail than meth/psychedelics and schizophrenia. I can see how he'd end up in the deep end. It's too bad no one saw it coming in time.
I am NOT making any judgement on his family though. He was in treatment over the years and was doing a reasonable job keeping his life afloat. There's really not much else his family could do, imo.
My younger brother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in the 70's when he was 20. It is a life long battle for the patient and their family. JMO
