A coroner has paid tribute to a much-loved hospital chaplain who went 'above and beyond' in her role caring for patients and staff.
Katie Watson, a former army captain, appeared on a Channel 4 documentary about life in a Newcastle hospital.
The 50-year-old mother-of-two was found hanging in Jesmond Dene, Newcastle, last September, having suffered long-standing mental health issues which required both community and in-patient treatment.
Coroner Karin Welsh, sitting in Newcastle, concluded that her death was suicide.
The inquest heard how Ms Watson had a turbulent upbringing before she joined the military.
