A delay by police in re-grading the severity of the case of a man who said he intended to take his own life - before he was found unresponsive at his home - 'possibly' contributed to his death, a coroner has concluded. Jordan Peter Clare, 22, died on August 28, 2020.
He was found hanged at his home in Marple, Stockport, and sadly passed away at Stepping Hill Hospital two days later. Manchester South Coroners' Court heard that on August 26, he was in a 'state of agitation and frustration' about the 'apparent lack of progress' in a dispute with a neighbour being resolved.
Documents relating to the coronial hearing state Mr Clare - who had diagnoses of ADHD; attachment and conduct disorder; and anxiety and depression - 'intimated an intention to take his own life in the context of the neighbour dispute to a police call handler'.
