A Nottingham hospital worker has paid tribute to her "eccentric" and "caring" partner after he tragically took his own life. Declan Collier, 26, died after being hit by a train in the Lenton area on April 7.
It came after the dad-of-one's mental health began to spiral. His partner Cate Taylor, from Wollaton, says she felt he had been let down by mental health services and by the police on the night of his death.
The 21-year-old, who shared a son, one-year-old Jake, with Declan, described him as a "great dad". Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live, she said: "He was eccentric, really talented, he was a semi-professional scooter rider so he was very impulsive and ballsy.
