'Mother beheaded by her son and dragged into the street' in front of witnesses who thought it was a Halloween prank... then minutes later he threw himself to his death in front of a train
Mentally-ill: Derek Ward, 35, decapitated his 66-year-old mother, Patricia, on Tuesday before dragging her body into the street, in Farmingdale, New York, and kicking her head about
This is the son who beheaded his mother and kicked her head along the street before jumping under a train in New York.
Mentally-ill Derek Ward, 35, decapitated his 66-year-old mother, Patricia, on Tuesday night before dragging her body outside their apartment, in Farmingdale, New York, in what neighbours first thought was a Halloween prank.
And today it was claimed Prof. Ward was two days away from an appointment to get Derek the medication, which he had been without for four days, that could have saved her life.
'She had an appointment set up for (Friday),' her brother, the Rev. Robert Lubrano, told the New York Daily News. 'She finally met a compassionate psychiatrist, but she'll never make it to see him.'
Describing Derek as a 'sick, sick boy', Rev. Lubrano said Derek had battled psichiatric issues for ten years, but had never shown any signs of violence.
He said: 'He killed my sister because we couldn't get the prescriptions he needed. For four days, he didn't have his meds.
'She's dead because he had a mental illness, and we didn't know how serious it was. We're in terrible shock. She was a wonderful person.'
Derek had apparently sat with his mother's mutilated body for a few minutes inside their blood-spattered home following the brutal attack before taking it outside and kicking her head 20 feet.
Neighbours initially thought it was part of a Halloween prank and tried to pick up the body. As they were doing so, Derek jumped in front of an oncoming Long Island Rail Road train.
Rev. Lubrano told the paper Derek, who had ADD and was dyslexic, was too old to be covered by his mother's insurance and they struggled to find a doctor who would accept Medicaid.
But he said they finally found one at a cost of $200 for a 20 minute visit, adding that she did 'everything she could to keep him alive'.

He said Derek's behaviour had become increasingly erratic in the days leading up to the tragedy, describing how, one evening, she had dropped a fork while making him dinner, making him angry.
'He said the noise hurt his head,' Rev Lubrano said. 'She was begging him to go to the emergency room, but he wouldn't.'
Prof. Ward's other son, Robert, died of a heroin overdose in 1997. She was divorced from their father, John.
Prof. Ward was a much-loved teacher of language arts for 28 years at Farmingdale State College, a colleague told MailOnline today.

Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Patrick Calabria, said: 'Patricia Ward was a member of the campus for 28 years. She was well-known, well-liked, and well-respected. The campus is a very sad place today.'
The 35-year-old suspect jumped in front of the train a mile away and died around 8.15pm, half an hour later.
He was identified as Derek Ward by the Daily News. The 35-year-old had a criminal history and psychiatric problems spanning a decade.
He was found to be carrying a pistol and 100 valiums when he died.
Ms Ward was believed to have suffered multiple stab wounds and broken ribs were among her injuries before she died.
She was an assistant professor of language arts at the Long Island Educational Opportunity Center on campus where she worked with high school students who need help to become prepared for college, Mr Calabria added.
Neighbors told the Post that they initially believed the headless corpse, dressed only in a bra and pants, was a Halloween joke - only to lift the body and find out it was real.
The victim was a woman in her 60s, authorities said on Tuesday. The suspect allegedly killed himself by jumping in front of a train soon after the brutal killing

One neighbour, Nick Gordon, told the New York Post: 'I saw the lady laying right in front and her head was across the street, close to the corner. I thought ''holy s***!'''
He added that there was blood smeared down the stairs of the apartment block as if someone had dragged a body.
Nassau County Police Department would not confirm today that a decapitation had taken place but were investigating a link between then murder and the suicide.
No further details were available at this time, a spokesman told MailOnline on Wednesday.
The LIRR issued multiple notices to passengers on Twitter on Tuesday, noting service changes and cancelled trains.
One message read: 'The 7.11PM train from Penn due Ronkonkoma at 8:33PM delayed east of Bethpage due to an unauthorized person on the tracks struck by the train.'

I would have died on the spot if I picked a dead body up thinking it was a dummy uggg
If you ask me, Medications they giving these people is whats got them all crazy to begin with.
That crazy Muther sucker was packing one hell of a kick, Dayum. she should have enrolled his ass in Soccer to keep his ass occupied, smfh. That is one horrible ways to die.
To die in this way must have truly been devastating, when UI think about the many ways I might die here on earth this one is one of the worst ways for me to imagine to die!
soooooo
As people continue to die by the second I just leave it in Gods hands, he will deliver us good people from evil. Let us pray for our sinners,
Judging by the picture of his mother, she look strict as hell. My mom was mean but I would never dishonor her, because I believe what the bible says, Honor thy mother and thy father and your days will be longer, and that means even if they are harmful to you. As you can see in this scenario, Son did not honor his mother and no sooner he killed her his days was cut as soon as he killed his moms, smh
