In a statement read by senior coroner Alison Mutch, Vicky Hopkinson, from the urgent care team at Tameside Hospital, said she became 'increasingly concerned' about Gary after reading he had expressed suicidal thoughts, including jumping off a bridge, in a North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) report from the visit. Gary was seen by paramedics at his home address again just a day later on December 16. However, she said he did not express any suicidal thoughts or ideation on the visit, and she left 'confident' he would be able to access more help if he needed it. Gary said he had a referral sent to his GP for mental health support, but that he hadn't heard back from them. Ms Jones told the court that upon their arrival the problem with Gary's heart rate had 'subsided', and they had a 'good chat' about his anxiety and depression. She said Gary had explained to her how he had lost his partner in October, and had suffered from anxiety that contributed to an increased heart rate ever since. Giving evidence on Tuesday, paramedic Caroline Jones said she saw Gary at his property in Denton on December 15 after he had called 999 complaining of heart problems. Ambulance crews attended but each time were satisfied that he was 'capable of self-referral' to mental health services, and did not need transporting to hospital. In the three days leading up to his death, Gary called 999 on multiple occasions due to heart palpitations linked to 'grief' and 'stress'. The court heard how Ms Goodwin 'signposted' Gary to bereavement support but concluded his suicidal thoughts were 'related to grief' and therefore he did not need immediate intervention. In a statement, senior mental health practicioner Lauren Goodwin, who saw Gary on the night in October, said she did not believe he warranted a 'full assessment' as his thoughts were 'clearly a grief reaction'.
