A mother struggling with money problems took her own life while her kids were at school after her GP wrongly concluded she wasn't suicidal, an inquest has heard.

Amy Manning, 32, was found dead in her home on January 17 2024 after her police officer partner came round to check on her.

At a hearing at Taunton Coroner's Court, Assistant Coroner Stephen Cavell said 'it was clear she could not be saved' after she was discovered in her bedroom while her children were in lessons.

The court heard how Ms Manning had been diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), and had been using alcohol and cocaine prior to her death.

EUPD, also known as borderline personality disorder, is a mental health condition marked by difficulty regulating emotions, maintaining stable relationships, and impulsive behavior.
