The so-called "Piano Man" has returned home after being discharged from hospital.It follows a "marked improvement" in his condition, a spokesman for the West Kent NHS and Social Care Trust said.Social workers spent months trying to help the man, who was found wandering near a beach on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
He was wearing a dripping wet suit and tie and refused to say a word.
To make matters worse, all the labels had been cut out of his clothing.
He was dubbed the Piano Man after the Trust said he "played classical music beautifully for four hours" to carers.
It has since emerged, however, he only played the same note continuously.
According to the Daily Mirror, he finally broke his silence last week.
The paper says a nurse went into his hospital room in Dartford and asked: 'Are you going to speak to us today?'
He simply answered 'Yes, I think I will.'
He told staff he was from Germany but made his way to the UK after losing his job in Paris.
He yet to be named, although the German government says he is a 21-year-old Bavarian.
A spokesman for the German embassy in London said: "The hospital called us up on Friday morning saying that there was a man claiming to be a German national.
"We contacted his parents and his identification was confirmed. We gave him replacement travel documents and he left the UK using his own arrangements on Saturday morning."
