Tributes have paid to a mum-of-two who died at the age of 33.
Katie Louise Collier was described as a 'lovely person' by her family at the inquest into her death.
David Collier, Miss Collier’s dad, said: “She was a lovely person and she was brought up loving going on holidays and things.
“She was trying to move house and things fell through and sometimes she talked to us about it.
“Louise had her own hairdressing salon at first, but it was not financially viable, although she did really well.”
Ms Collier was found dead at her home in Bar Lane, Bolton, on August 25.
Dr Patrick Waugh at the Royal Bolton Hospital, told Coroner Stephen Teasdale at Bolton Coroner’s Court, the cause of death was hanging.

Mr Teasdale said: “I do find that she was responsible for taking her own life.
“Miss Collier had a very high level of alcohol in her system which caused emotional instability.
“But her intentions remain unclear and I am keen to make a narrative conclusion.”
