"She had lots of challenges and she did have struggles with her mental health but that didn't stop her from leading a full life.
"She was discharged to the Home Treatment Team the day before the funeral. After Ethan's funeral she acknowledged the need to stop drinking. Her mental health was extremely fragile." At the conclusion of the inquest the coroner spoke at length about the devastating repercussions of suicide and praised Richard and Camille's family for their bravery. She added: "Suicide tears lives apart and sends shockwaves through families and communities. The world is never a better place through the loss of any life through suicide."Here are some groups you can contact:Childline: Phone 0800 1111. Calls are free and won't show up on your bill.
