Helgi was born on 25 September 25, 1896 in Vatnseyri, Patreksfjörður, Iceland to Dr. Tómas Helgason and Sigrid Lydia Thejle.
[1] He was head physician at Kleppspítali psychiatric hospital from 1929, when the new building came into use, to his death on August 2, 1958.
[3] In 1930 he was involved in a controversy, called the Big bomb (Icelandic: Stóra bomban) when he raised concerns that Jónas Jónsson, the Icelandic Minister of Justice, was suffering from mental instability.
[4] The incident led to Helgi being fired from the Kleppspítali, although he later was reinstated as its head physician.
