Tragedy of dad-of-three, 29, who took his own life day after rejecting help from mental health services
A dad-of-three took his own life a day after rejecting further help from mental health services, a coroner has concluded. Liam Ratcliffe, 29, was found unresponsive at his home in on April 13 after police received a concern for welfare call.
In the statement, Mrs Ratcliffe also said her son loved boxing, football and golf, and that he often went fishing and played darts. She said: “He spoke at length about his relationship with his dad and how he’d had some social stressors such as his rugby career ending prematurely due to injury, about a breakdown of his relationship and how he felt he’d lost his home and his family.
When Ms Darby eventually saw Liam at his mum’s home, she said that he 'engaged well' and 'discussed the problems he was having'. “At that point I became very worried because of the change in his presentation. I did offer Liam another appointment to see if he’d engage but again he declined.” He said: “On the evidence I have heard, I cannot find that Mr Ratcliffe would have voluntarily accepted additional care if it had been offered to him or that he would have satisfied the criteria for such care to be provided to him on a compulsory basis. Further, I cannot find that if additional care had been offered or provided to Mr Ratcliffe, that it would have enabled a different outcome to be achieved.
