Kieffer Sutton, aged 25, put a cord round Kazeema Asfal's neck while he was being 'watched' at the Heath Lane Hospital in Heath Lane, West Bromwich, on July 2 last year.
He was due to be sentenced for attempted murder on Thursday afternoon at Wolverhampton Crown Court after being convicted after a trial held in January.
