An "amazing" dad took his own life after splitting up with his girlfriend during a weekend away in Blackpool, a coroner has ruled. Daryl McWilliam, from Kilmarnock, had travelled to the English seaside resort with his girlfriend of 12 months, Natalie Jones.
On Saturday, February 26, the pair went to Wetherspoons for something to eat before returning to their room at Garvey’s Promenade Hotel. The 24-year-old and his girlfriend spent some time in their room before the couple went back out and visited three pubs in the town centre.
Towards the end of the night Daryl became increasingly drunk and after becoming separated from Natalie he sent her a text and told her: “I don’t want to be with you anymore.” Natalie made several attempts to contact Daryl, who eventually returned to the hotel at around midnight.
