'Piano Man' discharged

The so-called "Piano Man" has been discharged from the care of a National Health Service Trust.

British social workers spent months trying to help the man, who had been silent since being found wandering near a Kent beach in April wearing a dripping wet suit and tie.

The Daily Mirror reported yesterday that the man finally broke his silence last week, and revealed he was from Germany but had travelled to Britain after losing a job in Paris.

No further details were released due to confidentiality laws.

Update on mystery piano man

I originally posted about the mysterious virtuoso who showed up on a beach in Kent here. It now looks like the authorities have their hands full following up on leads from the public, but one in particular (from the Czech Republic) looks promising. Details here.

Mystery piano man

Is this story amazing? A man was found wandering along a beach in Kent, UK, in the pouring rain. He hasn't talked for six weeks - he only draws and plays the piano like a master. Very intriguing.
