Winchester Coroners Court
A MAN with a history of mental health issues used a shotgun to take his own life, an inquest heard.
Kevin John Primmer, 54, was found by his wife Catherine at their home address on May 6.
She rushed to the property in Riverside Farm Lane, Alresford, after speaking to Mr Primmer over the phone.
Portsmouth Coroner's Court heard that she knew something was wrong with her husband because he finished the conversation by saying: "I love you very much Cath, goodbye".
"We first met in 1994 and married in '96. I would consider him my best friend," said Mrs Primmer in a statement.
