Devastated dad hangs himself in son's bedroom, just weeks after son committed suicide the same way

The Hull Coroner's Court heard how Martin Leonard had told his wife Lisa that the face of their son, Macauley, was haunting him before he took his own life
UPDATED OCT 2, 2018

A father reportedly hung himself in his family home less than a month after his only son committed suicide the same way. 21-year-old Macauley Leonard took his life in his bedroom in the family home earlier this year. Less than four weeks after he was found, his 48-year-old father Martin also committed suicide in the same room.

The Hull Coroner's Court heard how Martin told his wife that their son's face was haunting him before he took his own life in the home at Shinewater Park, Hull. The double inquest into both deaths heard how Macauley had become reclusive after he decided that he and his long-term girlfriend take a break, while in Martin's case, he never accepted the loss of his son.
