Woman Hangs Self After Refusing To Come To Terms That She Lost Her Parents Just Days Apart

                                             34-year old Cassie and her 17-year old daughter

A heartbroken woman is believed to have hanged herself after her parents died just days apart, her family have revealed. Cassie Richardson, from Fleetwood, Lancashire, had struggled for four years following the death of her parents Tony and Janice in April, 2010.

The young mother, who has a 17-year-old daughter Sophi, was said to have been found hanged at the seafront on December 28, in Thornton Cleveleys, and her funeral is due to take place today.

Her family believes she died of depression and have urged those suffering with depression to seek help. Her brother John, 40, said: 'I urge anybody struggling with the loss of a loved one to reach out and ask for help.

'Whether it is a family member, a friend or an organization or bereavement service, please don't suffer in silence.

'My little sister decided enough was enough and left us behind to be reunited with our parents, aged only 34, and the loss of Cassie left a huge void in our lives.

'But my hope is that somebody reading this will think twice before harming themselves and in turn those around them that love them dearly.'

Her family said that the 34-year-old had struggled to come to terms with losing both of her parents in close succession.

Ms Richardson's mother was diagnosed with cancer on March 30, 2010, and just one week later she passed away from pneumonia.

Then, just one day after her mother's funeral, her father suffered a massive internal bleed and was found dead on the floor of his bedroom.
