Man left seriously injured after breaking into water park took his own life amid fears he would be crippled

A man who broke both his legs on a slide after drunkenly breaking into a waterpark later took his own life. An inquest heard Barry Douglas killed himself - in part due to fears he could be permanently crippled as a result of the accident.

The 44-year-old was found dead at his home in Aldershot in Hampshire on February 17. One of his friends contacted staff at the supported housing where he lived after not seeing him around.

A post-mortem examination found his medical cause of death was hanging. A toxicology report analysing his blood samples found he had alcohol 4.3 times the drink drive limit in his system when he died.
