Lee Ocean was found dead at his home in Tenzing Gardens, Popley, on Friday, January 10, 2020.
Winchester Coroner's Court was told how the 39-year-old loved working with people and “longed to be a dad”, but had a history of depression and self-harm which was exacerbated by the loss of his daughter Imogen who was born stillborn in 2013.
Lee’s sister, Kelly Lincoln, told the inquest: “Lee was a really loving and compassionate person. He desperately cared his family and friends. He most of all in this world longed to be a dad.”
“Lee adored the idea of being a father and that was stolen from him, and his partner at the time, and it really did break his heart,” said Kelly.
