A man said his partner took her own life as she "simply been in too much pain" following the death of her son.
Richard Benson sat bravely in coroner's court this week where he listened to the circumstances leading up to the death of his partner Camille Hardman. Her son, Ethan Hardman, was found dead in woodland near to their home in Walton-le-Dale in October 2022, reports LancsLive.
The "highly intelligent and gregarious" mum was devastated following the 16-year-old's death. After Ethan's death, Richard tried to help Camille, but a few days later he agreed with her admission to a mental health unit in Ormskirk.
