A 34-year-old mother-of-two, Bethany Hewitt, is found dead after being hanged in Runcorn, Cheshire, just 19 days after she reported suicidal thoughts to a GP, an inquest hears. The inquest also hears that, while waiting for an ADHD assessment, she told someone she felt “better off dead.”
The reports reviewed at the inquest place Hewitt’s death in the context of mental health concerns and lengthy waiting times for specialist assessment. The outlet coverage emphasizes her statements about suicidal ideation and her remarks while awaiting an ADHD evaluation.
Across the provided accounts, the main focus is on the timeline of her contacts and communications with healthcare services leading up to her death, and on the delay in accessing an ADHD assessment. The sources describe the circumstances and the inquest testimony but do not present differing factual details beyond these themes.
