'Stephen wasn't given a chance': Morpeth man remembers 'devastating news' of brother's suicide two years on

A Morpeth man has spoken of the "devastating" day he was told his brother had taken his own life.

Two years on from the death by suicide of elder brother Stephen, Mark Summers wants to see better support for people with mental health problems and to highlight the "fantastic work" of two small charities.

Mark, 31, is looking to organise a charity event - which he promises will feature choreography to some of the brothers' favourite Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga songs - to showcase the support available from suicide prevention charities If U Care Share and Suicide&Co. Mark said his brother hadn't been given the support he needed, and he wants to do what he can to ensure others are not left in the same position.
