Germany's English-speaking 'Forest Boy' is now considered a fantasist by authorities, six months after he stunned the world with his tale of living rough in woods and burying his father in a shallow grave.
Officials have concluded that the young man who walked into a town hall in the east of the city and addressed them in accented English has "mental health issues", according to sources in Berlin. One said: "There was no wood, no grave, no mother who died in a car crash. He is now just regarded as something of an unfortunate."
The youth, who said his name was Ray, hit the headlines last September when he sought sanctuary, claiming to remember few details about his life beyond the few gripping details which aroused international curiosity.
He said he had been living in a tent in a forest for five years with his father, called Ryan, and that his mother Doreen had died in a car crash five years previously. Full story...
