Sometimes you meet people and you don't know what they are actually passing through in life. Just like this lady whose story is below. A kind word to someone, even a stranger does no harm. As reported by The Mirror:
A bridesmaid hanged herself just hours after attending her sister's wedding, an inquest heard.
Rebecca Darnell - known to friends and family as Boo - was still wearing her bridesmaid's dress at the time.
Earlier in the evening she had been the "life and soul of the party" as head bridesmaid at her older sister Joanna's wedding, the court was told.
The 30-year-old had spent the night in good spirits, helping organise people at the wedding and dragging friends and family onto the dance floor.
"She was the life and soul," her father David told a coroner today. "She got everybody up and dancing, which is no mean feat. She was getting everyone involved."
However, just hours after the wedding reception Rebecca's partner of four years, Carlo Salamone, found her body hanging at their townhouse in Addlestone, Surrey.
The couple had argued about the taxi fare on their way back from the wedding, the inquest heard, and Mr Salamone had slept on the sofa when they had got home.
When he woke up and went upstairs to find his girlfriend, he saw that their bed was still made and had not been slept in.
Walking up the second flight of stairs to the third floor, Mr Salamone found his path blocked by a hanging figure.
Mr Salamone raced to get a phone and dialled 999 and was directed through CPR lifesaving techniques, which he carried out.
Police constable Stephen Ashley, who attended the scene after 7am, said he found a body lying on the floor, still wearing a "formal evening dress."
A post-mortem examination showed Rebecca had died as a result of suspension, with a cause of death of hanging.
Toxicology tests showed she was double the drink driving limit, with 162mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
Coroner Richard Travers heard how the social worker had been worrying about organising her sister's hen do the week before her death.
He said: "The cause of Boo's death was hanging. There was nothing at the scene to suggest any third party involvement."
He ruled out a verdict of suicide, as he could not find any clear intention, such as leaving a suicide note and Rebecca had made plans to see friends and family for the coming days.
