Steve Dymond, 63, was found dead at his home in Portsmouth, Hampshire, in May 2019 - seven days after failing a lie detector test during filming for The Jeremy Kyle Show.
A Jeremy Kyle Show guest who died after filming an episode of the programme had spoken to medics about having suicidal thoughts in the weeks beforehand, an inquest has been told. Steve Dymond, 63, was found dead at his home in Portsmouth, Hampshire, in May 2019 - seven days after failing a lie detector test during filming for the ITV programme. He had been accused of cheating on his ex-fiancee.
He saw Mr Dymond again just over two weeks later, on 29 March 2019, and prescribed him the antidepressant Sertraline. At that time, he was still reporting 'off and on self-harm thoughts' but had no 'plans to materialise them', Dr Rehman told the court. On 10 April 2019, Mr Dymond saw a nurse practitioner and asked for a letter to say he was not depressed or taking anti-depressants. This was so he could go on a television show to take a lie detector test, the court was told.
