Incredibly sad - our thoughts are with friends and family
A Nottingham hospital worker has paid tribute to her "eccentric" and "caring" partner after he tragically took his own life. Declan Collier, 26, died after being hit by a train in the Lenton area on April 7.
After anti-depressants and other support failed to help, Declan's mental health began to further deteriorate. "He started going downhill completely and we were really concerned about him," she said. "I'm usually quite a defiant person but in that situation I thought the police would know what they were doing. But I woke up to loads and loads of messages from him, saying he loved Jake and that he was broken."
Cate said Declan was "definitely let down" by the police as well as local mental health services. "Working in the NHS I know that they are so understaffed, but the crisis team's one job is to prevent tragedies like this," she said. Describing the impact of the loss of Declan, Cate said: "I at the moment can't put Jake to bed because that was Dec's routine. He's too young to understand so we just keep playing videos of him.
