The family of a young man "liked by everyone" who died following a mental health battle said he was at "breaking point" at the time of his death. Conor Challenger was just 24 years old when his family found him near their home in Ebbw Vale after he showed signs of distress.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Leigh Murphy - Conor's brother-in-law of 16 years - said Conor had struggled with his mental health since the age of 12 and that the family had "tried every possible avenue" to help him throughout his life. Leading up to his death at around midnight on March 11, Leigh said Conor's mental state had deteriorated exponentially.
