The bodybuilder "troubled" died after becoming so weak that he could not lift a trash bag

A bodybuilder with a gold heart was so ill and so weak that lifting a garbage bag left him deflated, revealed a broken-hearted mother.

Saman-Jon Shamsaee was identified by her mother, Debbie Heshmatpasand, as an "accomplice to the crime" during an investigation into her death, and she blames the mental health services for failing her struggling son.

Debbie said her son was in a "vicious cycle of drinking, medications and discomfort" in the years leading up to her death and that she had been begging doctors to do more for her troubled boy.

Saman, 31, known as Shammy, took a lethal dose of fentanyl and was found on her mother's couch at her home in Arram, near Beverley, Yorkshire, in September 2018, reports Hull Live.

The investigation found that he had overdosed before suffocating due to a 3.5-meter piece of plastic lodged in his throat.

The tributes flocked after his death, as his friends and family remembered the kind man who had given to the less fortunate and helped the homeless – once, he had thrown the jacket on his back.

In adolescence, Saman became obsessed with fitness, before taking steroids to improve his bodybuilder physique.

His interest in exercise grew and he became a personal trainer, working in a gym while he was studying to become a banking consultant.

In 2012, his world collapsed around him, sparking a series of events that would eventually result in his death six years later, his mother said.

He separated from his girlfriend and broke his knees preventing him from training.

The doctors put a leg and crutches on him, gave him prescription medications to relieve his pain and he struggled to recover, which led to an infernal spiral in drug addiction and alcoholism.

"He could not go to the gym anymore and stay in shape, which did not improve his mental health," his mother said.

"He took prescription medication for the pain and returned to the university.

"But from there, his mental health deteriorated. He tried to commit suicide and started drinking a lot. He became addicted to prescription painkillers and started using tramadol.

"He took drugs and drank to escape his life because of his injuries and the breakdown of his relationship with his ex-partner."

Saman started struggling with his studies, starting every September to give up months later.

The doctors diagnosed an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) at Shammy's in 2013 and he attended rehab centers, but in 2016 he was forced to permanently leave the university and return to his mother's home in Beverley to try to get the help he needed.

Debbie said during the investigation that while her son thought he needed time to "take care of himself and his sanity," he became a loner.

"He would spend a lot of time in his room and he did not have many friends at this stage," she said.

"He did not want to go out in public and he had trouble getting out of bed because he had no energy."

The bereaved mother recounted how she had begged doctors to help her son, who was dependent on prescription drugs and who drank a lot, but health professionals seemed to dismiss him, disinterested because he was an "addict" .

By 2018, he was suicidal, and the time leading up to his death was completely transformed into a drink and medicine to try to overcome the lows.

Debbie said her son was "constantly paralytic while drinking" in the last days of his life and that he saw and heard things.

"He felt so weak that he could not even lift a garbage bag and it left him deflated," she said.

In the weeks leading up to his death, health professionals had told the 31-year-old to continue drinking because of the severity of his addiction – sometimes seeing him drink three liters of vodka in one sitting.

The board alarmed her mother, but Debbie said Shammy had been warned of catastrophic consequences when he suddenly decided to be cautious.

The Beverley Mental Health Teams also stated that it could not be taken care of until it had "stabilized" its drug and alcohol problems and to be engaged regularly. in the services offered.

Her father, Mohsen Shamsaee, echoed Debbie's belief that the health system had failed her child.

"The mental health teams have dropped it many times," Mohsen said.

"He was mostly depressed and all the doctors dropped him. We did our best to help it.

Deputy Coroner Ian Sprakes concluded that Saman's death was drug related.
