Joslin's parents had previously blamed the BBC for failing to prevent his death.

After calling for a BBC inquiry, the family called for an independent inquiry into whether the corporation’s management properly responded to Russell’s complaints about the alleged sexual harassment.
It has emerged that Joslin, who lived in a flat next door to his parents’ home in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, had received a text message in error from a BBC chief days before his death.
The text, from BBC West Midlands’ head of programmes Cath Hearne to Russell read: 'However, do not contact him until he gets back to me. This is massively sensitive.'
Joslin's family say his descent into mental illness began after he allegedly spurned unwanted sexual advances by the woman broadcaster during a night out at a restaurant near his home in affluent Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
Mr Joslin’s parents said he was forced to leave her in the restaurant because of her behaviour, after which she sent him a flurry of abusive phone messages which have been played to the Daily Mail and in which she swore and belittled him.
Peter Joslin said that while questions need to be asked at the hospital over how his son was apparently able to take his own life, the BBC should hold an investigation into his treatment.
Mr Joslin, 78, added: ‘There is some evidence to support accusations that Russell was being sexually harassed or bullied.
‘I am shocked to discover the apparent attitudes of certain individuals to their employees at the BBC.
