A jury has found mental services were fundamentally flawed in their handling of a beloved son and brother who killed himself in a hospital ward.
Ashworth had been admitted to hospital and underwent months of treatment after he jumped from the Arndale Shopping Centre car park and survived, an inquest at Rochdale Coroners Court has heard.
The 34-year-old spent eight years battling his ‘plummeting’ mental health - which came on ‘without any signs’ while in his mid-20s, his family said.
