A much-loved mum and grandmother who took her own life died more than four hours after her family raised the alarm with police about her, an inquest heard.
Amelia Waterhouse, 49, was discovered hanged at her home by her daughter's partner in July 2019. She was rushed to hospital but could sadly not be saved.
Just over four hours earlier, Ms Waterhouse's sister had dialled 999 and reported a concern for her welfare to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) after she became 'hysterical' and left the hospital where she had just visited her new grandchild. Relatives had then been unable to contact her.
