An 'intelligent, dedicated' charity worker took her own life after struggling to afford rent and buy food. An inquest heard Yee-King Ho kept a notebook detailing what days she would eat lunch or dinner in a bid to save money.
The 27-year-old, known as 'Fion' to her family and friends, moved to London from Hong Kong in April 2022. Her share of the rent on her South West London flat was £900 a month.
However after a few months she 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, MyLondon reports. Her brother became worried when his sister told him she was losing her hair, suffering from insomnia and found it difficult to afford the "unhygienic" flat share.
