Mum in tragic drowning

few weeks before her death, she denied having any suicidal thoughts.

The court heard she had selfreferred to the mental health service at Folly Hall, Huddersfield, nine months earlier, but had failed to attend her appointment.

She was not offered another one and was discharged from the service. Following her GP appointment on January 17, a psychiatric assessment appointment had been arranged for the afternoon of February 5.

But she would never make it, having taken her own life just a few hours before.

Assistant Coroner, Mary Burke, said the medical cause of death was drowning. She told her parents that there was no indication from the evidence that there was any sign that their daughter was going to end her life.

Ruling that she did commit suicide, she said she was “satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Caroline intentionally submerged herself in the bath at her home.”

No suicide note was found.
