A much-loved man tragically took his own life following a 'failed' hair transplant. Forty-seven year old Gwyndaf Owen from North Wales is said to have believed people would 'mock' him if they saw his scars.
Mr Owen was found dead in his garden shed in March after years of struggling to cope with the 'sole event' that triggered his 'mental health difficulties'. An inquest yesterday (Oct 19) heard how Mr Owen had developed suicidal thoughts and previously made two attempted to take his own life, after his hair transplant surgery in 2004.
The farm supervisor lived with his 77-year-old mother in Llanerchymedd in Anglesey and was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder and depression. The inquest heard how Mr Owen "severely regretted" the procedure and felt he "did not need it and he should have just shaved his head".
