Bethany Hewitt, 34, dies after waiting around three years for an ADHD assessment. Both outlets say she had not received the assessment by the time of her death, and reported that she experienced severe anxiety while waiting.
The reports include claims from her family about her mental state during the delay. Irish Mirror says Hewitt feared she was “better off dead” while waiting for assessment. The Daily Record (Scotland) similarly describes her as feeling “better off dead” and highlights that she was still awaiting an ADHD assessment when she died.
The two articles focus on the same core timeline and the same distressing statements attributed to Hewitt, but differ in emphasis and framing. Irish Mirror leads with her described anxiety and the length of the wait; Daily Record (Scotland) frames the story as a mum-of-two who had not received the assessment after three years. Neither outlet provides a separate account of what caused her death beyond the stated circumstances.
