A woman who drowned in a lake took her own life after fearing a chronic eye problem made her look 'disfigured', an inquest has heard.
Christine Foster's body was pulled from the water in Orrell Water Park in Wigan on November 19 last year. The 60-year-old had been reported missing by her family the previous day, according to the Manchester Evening News.
An inquest at Bolton Coroners' Court heard Ms Foster had been suffering with a chronic eye problem for some time prior to her death, on which surgery proved unsuccessful. Ms Foster had threatened to end her own life if the issue could not be fixed, the court heard.
