Student midwife took her own life two months after dad's suicide

A 20-year-old student midwife decribed as 'happy and strong' took her life two months after her dad had committed suicide, an inquest as heard. Jade Jones was found unresponsive in her flat on December 13 last year.

An inquest has now heard family and friends describe Jade as “happy”, “bubbly” and “strong”, and say there was nothing to suggest she would ever look to harm herself or take her own life. Jade’s mum said: “Jade had a happy and contented childhood. She had always been very sociable and had an abundance of friends.

Jade's dad took his own life in October 2021, reports HullLive. Her mum said: “Jade was mortified at the news but she dealt with it as you would expect anyone who loses their dad. However, she was a bit stressed at having to organise the funeral. Jade was a remarkably strong person and she took on the responsibility, but I think it may have affected her mental health.”
