- By John Kelly and Adam Weston

A SURGEON was found dead in a bath with a suicide note written on a mirror.

James Nicholson, 36, was upset after splitting from his partner of 18 years who moved to China to teach, an inquest heard.

A senior registrar, known for his dedication in the field of pancreatic cancer, he had made several phone calls to pals about suicide.

He worked at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and was found dead in October in the bath of his city home, with an apparent suicide note on the mirror.

His mum Pam told the i nquest t hat James, originally from Stocktonon-tees, “lit up a room when he walked into it”.

She added: “He was loved by everybody he met – 450 people attended his funeral, including friends and family who travelled from as far away as Dubai.

“He was a fantastic doctor and surgeon.

“The world is a darker place without him.” Liverpool coroner Anita Bhardwaj recorded a verdict of suicide.
