Happy and loving Chorley mum was making plans for summer before tragic night out with pals
A happy and loving mum who was making plans for the summer died after taking an overdose of prescription medication.
In the lead up to her death, she was considered by her partner, her family, and her care coordinator to be happier than in the past. She was in a relationship with Daniel Baxter, who was described at Preston Coroners Court as “the one” and was happy to have her children living together in a new home.
In a statement summarised by assistant coroner Laura Cox, Kirsty’s sister Keira said she had been happy and chatty when they last saw each other on their mum’s birthday. She added that although Kirsty had been experienced suicidal thoughts before, she always said protecting her children was her motivation not to proceed. Keira added that she was an “amazing mother, daughter, sister and aunt”.
Ms McEwan explained that Kirsty, originally from Preston, had recently asked for an increased dose of her Fluoxetine medication but may not have been aware of a small and rare side effect which is an increase in suicidal thoughts. She said: “Although she had a past of contacting services for help, she might not have recognised that feeling was from the increased dose.”
