An inquest determined that Beatrice Solomon, a 27‑year‑old carer who had recently moved to the UK from Nigeria, died by suicide at her home in Stoke‑on‑Trent. She was found unresponsive by her husband, Damian Butler, during a work break. Evidence presented at the inquest detailed her ongoing mental health struggles and previous suicide attempts. A pathologist confirmed death by oxygen deprivation, and the coroner concluded that her actions were planned. Police found no evidence of third‑party involvement.
