Former 'beggar' has gone missing from hospital needs urgent medical attention

Police in Hammersmith and Fulham want help in finding 41 year old Simon Wright, who was last seen on Sunday, 30 July at 10pm outside Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

Residents of Putney may recoginse him as the 'beggar' who duped well-wishers in Putney into thinking he was homeless, hungry and penniless - while living in a £300,000 flat in Fulham. An ASBO prevented him from returning to Putney until May 2015.

He is described as a white male, 5ft 8ins tall, slim build with shoulder length brown hair normally tied back.

He was last seen wearing a green camouflage jacket and black tracksuit bottoms. His cannula still attached when he left hospital.

Simon has serious health issues which require medication and attention. Police are urgently appealing for information on his whereabouts. He is originally from Fulham.

He should not be approached by members of the public.

If seen please call police on 101 or Missing People on 116000.
