Warrant Officer Who Served With Prince Harry Found Dead After PTSD Treatment Complaints

A decorated British soldier who fought alongside Prince Harry in Afghanistan is believed to have killed himself after complaining to colleagues about the treatment he was receiving for PTSD. Married Warrant Officer Nathan Hunt, 39, was found dead last week after confiding to Royal Engineers colleagues that he was struggling to cope with the effects of battlefield trauma. He also described the care provided to him by the Army as ‘useless’. The father-of-one protected Prince Harry when they belonged to an army desert reconnaissance unit. Warrant Officer Hunt’s highly dangerous role was to identify roadside bombs encountered by the elite force as they crossed Helmand Province on secret missions to ambush the Taliban. Prince Harry has written a private letter of condolence to Mr Hunt’s family according to Buckingham Palace sources. WO Hunt’s former colleagues accused the Ministry of Defence of letting him down. One said: ‘Nathan was a cracking bloke who saved a lot of lives in Afghanistan. He fought the demons in his head for years but it seems they won in the end. He said that the care he was receiving for his condition was useless and he was thinking of getting out of the Army.
