'Piano man' discharged

I've often wondered what happened to the 'piano man', who was committed to a mental health unit in April after being found wandering on the Kent coast, distressed and unable to speak or otherwise identify himself but able to play the piano with considerable skill.

In case anyone else had been wondering, it's reported by the BBC that his condition has improved, he has revealed that he's German, and he's been discharged to return home.

Due to patient confidentiality concerns, the public is unlikely to hear more, but I wish him well.
