The girlfriend of a former Manchester City footballer killed herself at a beauty spot after she struggled to deal with a life-changing medical condition, an inquest heard today.
Bank worker Faye Howard, 23, sent a final text to 22-year old goalkeeper Billy O'Brien after she was left 'embarrassed' and 'feeling like a burden' due to a debilitating bowel problem.
She was later found hanged in Dunham Massey Park near Altrincham, Greater Manchester after Mr O'Brien - who shared their quayside apartment - alerted police when he received the message.
The Stockport hearing was told Miss Howard a former Liverpool John Moores sports science student had developed Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia after being prescribed Amitriptyline for regular migraines.
