I'm getting my life back," Lionel Desmond wrote in a Dec. 3 Facebook post that did not elaborate. I apologize for anything out (of) my control. | will fix it, if not I'll live with it.” Desmond, 33, was found dead Tuesday night ina home in Upper Big Tracadie from what appeared to be a self inflicted gunshot wound, RCMP say. His wife Shanna Desmond, 31, their 10-year- old daughter Aaliyah and his mother Brenda Desmond, 52, also died of apparent gunshot wounds. Friends and family say Des- mond was a kind and funny person, who changed after a tour in Afghanistan in 2007. In his Facebook post last month, Desmond said he had hit his head on a light ar- moured vehicle and suffered back spasms after falling off a wall while in the Forces, and had been told he now had post-concussion disorder as well as PTSD. “That (explains) my jeal- ‘Shannaand Lionel Desmond hold their daughter Aaliyah ina photo from the Facebook page of Shanna Desmond.

He wrote he had “ADD/ ADHD from thrashing my head,” and doctors told him he should seek neurological help in Halifax. “I just hope there's no brain damage ... | will be going to Halifax to find out, wish me the best,” Desmond wrote. Rev. Elaine Walcott, a rela- tive of Desmond, said Thurs- day that he had gotten treat- ment last year in Montreal but was looking for more help. She said Desmond recently tried to check himself into a mental health unit at St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish and was told there were no beds. She said he was also told they didn't have his files. Desmond served in Afghan- istan in 2007, and had re- ceived treatment from a joint personnel support unit for a year prior to his release from the military in July 2015. Such units provide support to ill and injured soldiers. including mental injuries. ‘A retired soldier who served in Afghanistan with Desmond said Thursday that his friend had the classic symptoms of PTSD, but ap- peared to be dealing with them. Every time I think about Lionel Desmond as a person, I'smile, because he was the person that everyone want- ed to be. He was quiet. He ‘was funny. He was the joker. Everyone loved him. Not a harmful bone in his body. Trev Bungay said, “Lionel two days ago wasn't Lionel, He fought hard for his country whenever he was asked to do it. He came home and needed help and he couldn't get sufficient help to make him be able to live a normal life,” Bungay said. Bungay was a master-cor- poral in charge of Desmond Qorricias Premier McNeil said he will speak with the federal Veterans Affairs Department to determine how officials handled Desmond's case. during their time in Afghan- istan. He said Desmond was a great soldier who did his job well, but it was a difficult and stressful deployment. (It) was a very heavy com- bat, high casualty tour. Even the littlest things such as eating meals and going for a shower, you could die doing it. A rocket could be launched into a camp. It’s a dangerous place. It's one of the most dangerous places in the world and we were there,” he said. Nova Scotia Premier Ste~ phen McNeil said Thursday an investigation has start- ed into how the province's health-care system dealt with Desmond McNeil said the “unspeak- able loss” has prompted the Health Department and the province's health authority to review what services were offered and whether proto- cols were followed, The premier said it's clear Desmond had received treat- ment for post-traumatic stress disorder from the mil- itary, but it's unclear what level of care — if any — was provided by the province. “There will be an ongoing process to make sure that the system responded," McNeil said after a cabinet meeting. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Minister speaks on alleged assault Nova Scotia's immigration minister has issued her first public statement since her husband was charged with assaulting her on New Year's Eve, thanking supporters and committing to continuing her work for the province. Lena Diab spoke in a quiet, halting voice today as she described enduring a “very tragic, sad, private and per- sonal matter.” The cabinet minister and entrepreneur declined to re- spond to questions after a cabinet meeting in Halifax, Premier Stephen McNeil also declined to comment on the case, except to say that his “love and support” was with his colleague. Community Services Min- ister Joanne Bernard said she didn't want to comment on Diab’s case, but she took the opportunity to say domestic violence continues to be an insidious crime that affects people from all walks of life. Later in the day, Diab’s husband, Maroun Diab, made his first appearance in Hali- fax provincial court, where he was released on a series of conditions.
