A MOTHER who is convinced her teenage daughter deliberately took her own life following years of battling mental health issues says she was ‘shocked’ by the coroner’s conclusion that the death was not suicide.
Eleanor Lomax, 19, was found hanged in her bedroom by her mother Elaine at their family home at Belmont Terrace, Thurgoland, on February 17 last year.
The former Penistone Grammar School pupil, one of four siblings, was under treatment for anxiety, depression and mood instability, and had recently spent time in a hospital mental health unit.
Ellie had also undergone a programme to address issues concerning the use of alcohol, and had made previous attempts to take her own life, including an overdose in November 2019. Having left a note confirming her action was planned, she was found by her mother and taken to hospital, starting a process which led to her admission to a mental health unit at the Priory Hospital at Altrincham.
