'Beautiful' and 'infectious' mum took her life after argument with estranged husband

A mum-of-three took her own life after an argument with her estranged husband, an inquest has concluded. Lauren Murray, 38, was found unresponsive in her Oldham home in June 2020 by her dad with her phone showing she had been rowing with her husband.

An inquest into her death concluded yesterday (January 3) at Rochdale Coroners' Court after a three day hearing in December last year. At that hearing the court heard that Lauren was found unresponsive at her home in Fairway Road, Oldham, on June 6 2020, and that she had been in contact with husband Anthony Murray, who she was separated from but had recently spoken with, in the early hours of that morning and the previous night.

Notifications found on Lauren’s phone by police after Lauren’s death also appeared to show threatening messages allegedly from Mr Murray, but during the course of the inquest Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said there is not sufficient evidence to charge him with any crimes in connection with her death. At the hearing Lauren was described by family as a "beautiful soul" with an "infectious personality".
