Head ‘killed himself fearing suspension’

A “super head” with an alcohol problem killed himself fearing he would be suspended from his job, an inquest heard.

Gary Vyse ran six academies as chief executive of the Williamson Trust in Medway, Kent, and was head of the Hundred Hoo Academy.

An inquest heard that the 37-yearold head teacher, who was found hanged at his home on Feb 12, had suffered problems at work, with his relationship and also “heavy drinking”.

Det Sgt Debra Cummings told the coroner that Mr Vyse had been due to meet bosses at the Trust over a possible disciplinary matter.
