A FATHER-of-two hanged himself when his 12-year relationship came to an end.

An inquest heard that Malcolm Lloyd, aged 30, was found by his son, Dean, at the home they shared in North Lane, Astley.

Mr Lloyd had telephoned his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Crook, threatening to kill himself on the morning of his death on August 8.

The pair had split up and got back together again five times but finally parted in July.

Coroner Jennifer Leeming concluded that Mr Lloyd took his own life. His body had an alcohol level equivalent to two-and-a-half times the legal driving limit.
