Man with diabetes took his own life because he ‘could not bear’ self-isolating PA 16 December 2020, 3:15 pm A man suffering from diabetes took his own life because he "could not bear the thought" of self-isolating during the first lockdown, an inquest has heard. Daniel Furniss, who also suffered from depression, was found dead at his home in Waterlooville, Hampshire, on March 27, a few days after the country was ordered to stay at home in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. An inquest at Portsmouth Coroner's Court heard that the 34-year-old's mental health worsened after his Personal Independence Payment benefit had been stopped and because of the lockdown rules.
