A father-of-two from Leigh whose mental health began to spiral after a split with his girlfriend bought a ‘suicide pack’ filled with poisonous chemicals he used to end his own life.
Samuel David Dickenson had obtained the controlled poison online. The 33-year-old took the chemical at his flat in Wilkinson Street where he was later found unresponsive by emergency services in the early hours of March 11, 2020.
He managed to call 999 shortly before falling unconscious, giving his name and address until the line went silent, the North West Ambulance Service said.
