A mother and her 19-year-old daughter were found dead just days apart after the teenager took her own life after giving birth, an inquest heard.
Rhianne Halton, who had hopes of becoming a hairdresser, had been bullied at college and gave birth to her second son during lockdown.
The 19-year-old hanged herself at her home in Torquay on May 10 last year, days after the birth of her second child following an argument with her controlling boyfriend.
Less than three weeks later her grieving mother Jeanette Whittle suffered a fatal drug overdose.
The inquest heard the 44-year-old took the drugs, to blot out the memory and stress of her daughter s suicide .
