A UK lottery winner who scooped a £500,000 jackpot 12 years ago was killed when she walked onto a railway track near her home. Helen Ford, 54, killed herself in January when she walked onto the track near her home in Penarth, near Cardiff – after struggling to manage her finances.
An inquest at Cardiff Coroner’s Court heard how she had suffered from bipolar personality disorder, and had suffered feelings of ‘loneliness and despair’ as a direct result of this. Psychiatrist Dr Martyn Davies told the inquest how she would take overdoses as a ‘cry for help’, but would soon recover and return to her ‘normal happy and smiling self’.
