A grandfather took his own life after struggling to cope with being
furloughed and not being able to see his much-loved family - in
particular his granddaughter, 'the apple of his eye' - during lockdown.
Malcolm Mather, also known as Clive, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire,
was found dead by a dog walker near dense woodland last July. Tests
later confirmed he had died from hanging.
Mr Mather, 72, had begun suffering anxiety-related problems in early 2020.

An inquest heard that the father-of-two had convinced himself he was
seriously ill and was going to die.

was found dead by a dog walker near dense woodland last July. Tests
later confirmed he had died from hanging. (Above, police at Park Hall

But despite Mr Mather being diagnosed with hypertension and a short bout
of depression, doctors could find nothing else physically wrong with him.
On July 12, his wife Sandra went out for a morning walk with their two
dogs at Park Hall Country Park.
She was surprised to bump into her husband, who had left their house
after her and then headed up to the hills.
'We had a brief conversation and I returned home,' she said in a
statement. As Mr Mather had been known to walk for hours, she wasn't
initially unduly concerned when he didn't come back.

But by lunchtime, Mrs Mather contacted a neighbour, who said they would
go out to look for him and suggested she inform the police.
An officer later knocked on the door of their home in Weston Coyney to
break the news that her husband had been found dead.
'I just felt sick to my stomach,' said Mrs Mather.
Another dog walker had been near dense woodland in the park when he came
across Mr Mather's body.
He didn't know what to do with his time. He couldn't sit there, he
couldn't rest on his laurels. He needed to be doing something.

The inquest was told that Mr Mather had been furloughed from his job as
a mechanic when the first lockdown began last March.
'He had worked for the company for a long time and was well-respected,'
said Mrs Mather.
Although his job was 'as safe as houses', he had started worrying he
wouldn't be able to go back there.
His wife added: 'He didn't know what to do with his time. He couldn't
sit there, he couldn't rest on his laurels. He needed to be doing
something.'
To add to his anxieties, Mr Mather was also missing being able to meet
up with close relatives, including a son who lived in Manchester.
He particularly missed seeing his granddaughter, who was 'the apple of
his eye'.
Medical records showed Mr Mather had reported experiencing various
symptoms during the course of 2020.
In March, he went to A&E and complained of a visual disturbance and
headaches. It led to the hypertension diagnosis, although doctors
suspect it was related to anxiety.
In mid-May, he reported a cluster of symptoms to his GP, saying he
thought they were linked to rheumatoid arthritis. At other points, he
also told his family he feared he had Parkinson's disease.
Mr Mather's GP advised him to seek help for his anxiety.
But at his last appointment in June, he was 'rationalising his thoughts'
and appeared to be improving. There were no concerns at the time about
him self-harming.
North Staffordshire assistant coroner Sarah Murphy said: 'There was
absolutely no way his family would have been able to see what was going
to happen.'
Recording a conclusion of suicide, she added: 'I've heard that he was a
very loving man.'

elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding
out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who among us
are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in
order to http://bit.ly/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to call
their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping
this pandemic. Thus, hoping for the best while preparing for the
worst-case scenario of the "UK variant mutations" **and** others like
the South African, Brazilian, Californian & "cluster-5 mink mutations"
(read more via Google) rendering current vaccines ineffective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
