Mum of four killed herself after fearing she'd lose kids in split from husband

A dedicated mum of four took her own life after fearing she would lose her kids following a split from her husband. Kelly Higgins, 31, tragically died at her home in Bridlington on December 29 last year.

She had spent most of her life looking after adults with learning disabilities before she went on to have her own family with her boyfriend at the time, William Higgins, an inquest in Hull heard. The pair met when they were teens and went on to marry, the Mirror reports.

However, the young couple suffered a heart breaking loss when their first child sadly passed away after being born premature. This resulted in the breakdown of Kelly's mental health and she suffered from anxiety and depression for the remainder of her life.
