The family of a "sociable, caring, and generous" dad of three who was found to have taken his own life have paid tribute to him following the conclusion of his inquest.
Martin Christy, 46, was found hanged at Reddish Vale Country Park on April 1 of this year. At South Manchester Coroners Court this morning, Coroner Andrew Bridgman concluded that Martin's death was a suicide, triggered by 'significant factors' including his father's recent death and his struggles with work and relationships.
His estranged wife Kim Christy, who was married to Martin for 20 years, told the Manchester Evening News that Martin was 'a great partner and husband,' who his kids were 'proud' of.
