A mother mourns her son, who sent a last message to police before taking his life, blaming the authorities for his unbearable situation
Bacup: A heartbreaking story has come to light about a man named Jennon Freeman. He was just 31 and struggled with his mental health. Sadly, he sent a message to the police before he took his own life.
On September 16 last year, Jennon was found dead near a golf club in Hebden Bridge. His family said he was deeply troubled and was on police bail at the time. They felt the pressure of his situation was overwhelming.
During the inquest, it was revealed that Jennon’s bail conditions kept him from seeing his daughter. His family believes this was a huge factor in his despair. His mother, Charlotte, expressed her pain, saying those conditions made life unbearable for him.
Jennon had been going through a tough time, especially after his marriage ended. He felt it was intolerable not being able to see his daughter. His parents tried to check in on him, but he always said he was fine, even though they sensed he was scared.
On the day he died, Jennon was struggling more than usual. Charlotte mentioned that he had changed his will a month before, which made her worry about his state of mind. It was clear he was in a lot of pain.
That fateful day, he sent a delayed emergency text to the police, sharing his location and intentions. When officers arrived, they found his body along with a suicide note. It was a tragic end to a life filled with turmoil.
The coroner, Laura Fox, described Jennon as a beloved man. She noted that he felt taking his own life was the only way to escape his pain. Her words offered some comfort to his grieving family, reminding them to cherish the good memories they shared.
