A much-loved mum was tragically discovered ‘secreted’ in a hole on a coastal path after she took her own life, following worries over the cost of living.
After Lorna Bartlett went missing from her home in Bugle, Cornwall, a huge search party was launched when her son Arron discovered her parked car at Spit Beach, in February last year.
The 62-year-old’s body was found in the early hours of February 23, where she had “secreted herself” into a hole next to a coastal path, after overdosing on prescription drugs, an inquest heard.
