A dad took his own life just a day after declining further help from mental health services.
Liam Ratcliffe, a dad-of-three, was found hanged in his home, in Newton-le-Willows, after his family and mental health services made police aware that they were concerned for his safety. The 29-year-old was found dead, on April 12, just a day after attending an appointment at Atherleigh Park mental health unit.
During an inquest it was revealed that Liam had previously tried to take an overdose after suffering with depression following the death of his father two years earlier. However when offered help, he rejected it.
