>Andreas Grassl, 20, from Prosdorf, Germany, had been in a Kent
>hospital since he was found on a beach in April.

>He was unable to speak to health workers but reportedly stunned
>them with his brilliant piano playing.

>Now back home in Germany, his lawyer Christian Baumann said his
>client was mentally ill.
