Peel man took his own life

An inquest has today heard how a 48 year old Peel man hanged himself.

 

Philip Caine was found dead at Little London farm near Cronk y Voddy on May 13.

 

A note was found in his car which was parked nearby.

 

At the resumed hearing today the court was told Mr Caine had suffered depression after his brother died, but had never sought help.

 

He'd also had difficulties in his marriage.

 

In recording a verdict of suicide, Coroner of Inquests Jane Hughes said the note made it clear Mr Caine had been a man in despair and had decided to take his own life.
