A 26-year-old man who was bullied as teen because he was gay took his own life a few days before Christmas, an inquest heard. William Toby Green, from Sketty, was found by police in Singleton Park on December 12, 2021 after concerns had been raised about his welfare.
Several officers attempted CPR on Mr Green, before paramedics arrived and promptly took him to Morriston Hospital for medical treatment. Sadly, Mr Green died there the following day from injuries he sustained in the park. The hearing heard he had phoned his ex-partner and vowed to take his own life shortly before he was found by officers.
The inquest into Mr Green's death was formally opened on December 17, 2021 and continued on August 4, 2022 at Swansea Guildhall. The hearing, attended virtually by Mr Green's parents and in-person by the attending officer, heard that Mr Green was born and raised in Swansea and had attended primary school and secondary school in the city, before moving to Cardiff to study at university.
