A mum-of-two who "made everyone smile" took her own life after finding a lump on her breast.
Michelle Cooke from Crosby battled with her mental health from the age of 16 when she tried to take her own life. Since then, the mum to Jaimee and Tyler was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and often turned to alcohol when she began to struggle.
The 37-year-old spiralled when she found a lump on her breast on Wednesday, July 27, with Michelle then panicking and fearing the worst. She rang the doctors to try and make an appointment but Michelle took her life the next morning after a day and night of drinking, her mum told the ECHO.
