The tragedy of a grieving man who was 'batted back and forth' when he needed help
A grieving man who died after falling from a motorway bridge intended to take his own life, an coroner has concluded. Gary Kelly, from Denton, Tameside, passed away in December 2021 after falling from a bridge over the M67.
On the final morning of the three-day inquest, the court heard Mr Kelly was referred for grief counselling by his GP and had been referred to social services on a number of occasions due to 'stress' and 'anxiety' around his financial situation. Mr Kelly didn't get bereavement counselling or support, despite those referrals.
Mr Kelly, the court heard, said he had already been referred for grief counselling through his GP in early October. His GP referred him back to social services later that month, but his case was closed again after Mr Kelly said 'nothing had changed' since his initial assessment. Mr Adenuga said Mr Kelly seemed 'relaxed' during their 45 minute conversation. He said Mr Kelly told him he was in touch with adult social care services, and that he discharged him with a care plan for him to follow if his mental health deteriorated.
