The terror suspect who was killed in a blast outside a hospital in Liverpool had not been receiving mental health treatment in the lead up to his death, the ECHO reports.
Emad Al-Swealmeen, 32, died after an explosion inside a taxi which had pulled up at the city's Women's Hospital just before 11am on Remembrance Sunday.
The driver of the taxi, David Perry, miraculously managed to escape from the vehicle seconds after the blast and moments before it was engulfed by flames.

Counter Terrorism Police and government ministers have declined to comment on any kind of motive or ideological cause behind the attack.
According to widespread reports, Al-Swealmeen was sectioned in 2015 after appearing in Liverpool Magistrates' Court for possession of a knife.
However Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the city's specialist mental health services, confirmed to the ECHO on Tuesday evening that Al-Swealmeen was not receiving treatment at the time of his death.
A spokesman for the trust told the ECHO: "We can confirm Emad Al-Swealmeen had previously accessed our services but was not a service user at the time of the incident."
Detectives are still piecing together how the seemingly unremarkable Al-Swealmeen was able to access the materials and information to enable him to build a bomb.
But Counter Terrorism North West say they have made significant progress since raiding an address he was renting in Rutland Avenue, near Sefton Park.
Today Security Minister Damian Hinds told the ECHO police were not seeking anyone else in connection with the bombing at this stage, and no signs of a "terrorist cell" in Liverpool had emerged.
He told the ECHO: "We know that at the present time the four other people arrested are free, and there's nobody else being sought at the moment by police.
"That doesn't mean there couldn't be, further down the line in the investigation, an identification of somebody else, but not at the moment.
"Sometimes people use the phrase 'lone-wolf' and it kind of paints a particular picture of somebody, which isn't always totally helpful.
"But what I can say is there's certainly been a shift over time from people working as part of a bigger organisation and where their actions are directed through a hierarchy from elsewhere internationally, and quite often quite complex plots."
Al-Swealmeen reportedly converted to Christianity at Liverpool Cathedral soon after arriving in the UK via Dubai, according to friends Malcolm and Elizabeth Hitchcott.
The couple took him in after meeting him in 2015, and he lived with them for around eight months the following year.
Mrs Hitchcott said: “It’s so terribly sad. We just loved him. He was a lovely guy and we are so shocked. It’s all too much.”
Mr Hitchcott said: "We are shocked because a less likely candidate you could not imagine."
