At least three veterans and a serving soldier have died in suspected suicides since the Queen ’s death.
One veteran posted the message, “Really sorry” online hours before his death. Charities believe the monarch’s passing has worsened underlying trauma faced by vulnerable former troops.
The three vets served on the front line and had suspected mental health problems. At least 42 veterans and serving members of the forces have died in suspected suicides this year and almost 400 since 2017. The serving soldier, in the Royal Regiment of Scotland, died on September 10, less than 48 hours after the Queen’s death was announced.
