An 'intelligent' woman took her own life after struggling to afford £900-a-month rent in a shared flat, an inquest heard.
Yee-King Ho, who was known as 'Fion' to her family and friends, moved to London from Hong Kong in April 2022 to start a new chapter of her life, MyLondon reports. The 27-year-old moved to a flat in Richmond but after a few months, felt she was 'not able to sustain her life in the UK' and had 'limited her eating' due to being unable to afford to pay bills.
The 'dedicated humanitarian worker' struggled to afford her 'unhygienic' £900 flat share, her brother Tommy Ho Yiu Hang said, and felt 'depressed'. After Fion's death, Tommy found a notebook entry detailing what days she would eat lunch or dinner to save money.
