A teenager told his friends 'thank you for being the top lads you are' in his final voice message moments before he took his own life, an inquest heard.
George Thompson, 18, had been battling mental health problems and lows he described as ‘thunderstorms’ before his death. His dad, Dave Thompson, described George's death as the ‘hardest thunderstorm yet’.
On October 27, 2021, George was working at a property on Old Road in Cheadle adjacent to the railway lines. The apprentice builder was said to be visibly upset before taking a break - a short time later he stepped in front of a train.
