Miss Janice Tucker was so desperate to have a baby that she killed herself because of it
A young woman who was keen to become a mother killed herself at
home after arguing with her partner about starting their family, an
inquest has heard.
According to Dailymail, Janice Tucker, 30, had been in a
relationship with Paul Martin for 12 years, and the couple had often
discussed having children.
But one night they had a row about their future plans at their home
in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria and Miss Tucker went to the bedroom while
Mr Martin slept on the sofa.
When he went to check on his girlfriend the next morning, she had hanged herself in the bedroom, leaving a suicide note saying: 'All I ever wanted to do was live my life and be loved for who I was.'
The inquest at Barrow Town Hall heard yesterday that Mr Martin had
been planning to propose to Miss Tucker before her death on the night of
May 15 last year.
It was revealed that the couple had been having drinks at a hotel
bar where she worked before their argument about their family plans.
The woman's co-workers said they noticed no change in her countenance throughout the day before the suicide.
Mr Martin told the hearing: 'I wanted to get something to eat and go to bed but she brought up the conversation of having children.
'We had already said we were going to have children, we had
even picked names. It turned into an argument so I slept on the sofa and
Janice went to bed.'
The next morning he found her body and called the emergency
services, who declared her dead at the scene and discovered her suicide
note.
The hearing was told that Miss Tucker had previously been treated for depression, and had taken an overdose in 2012.
Recorded a verdict of suicide, coroner Robert Chapman said: 'What we know of her last day was that she had been working on the Friday evening at the pub until 8pm.
'After that she had been joined by Mr Martin. They had a
pleasant evening. When they got home they had a bit of an argument over
Janice's wish to have a child. It was something that was preying on her
mind.
'The discussion was such that he decided to sleep on the sofa
and Janice went to bed. I am satisfied that she killed herself and it's
clear from the notes that she intended to do so.'
Speaking after the inquest, Miss Tucker's mother Ingrid Middleton
described her daughter as 'bubbly' and described her love of singing
karaoke.
She said: 'She was always known as a grinner because she never
smiled with her teeth. She was well loved and her family miss her
everyday, especially her sisters.
'The last line she wrote said, "All I ever wanted to do was live my life and be loved for who I was." I loved her very much for who she was.'
