He spent his life looking after others, but his own pain became too much
A much-loved health worker whose disappearance sparked a huge search took his own life after 'chronic pain' led him to a state of 'desperation', an inquest has heard.
Tony Williamson was described as a 'devoted' and 'caring' dad-of-two and granddad. The 63-year-old vanished from his family home in Trafford a week before Christmas 2023.
After an 'agonising' search operation lasting almost three months, his body was discovered in the River Mersey in Warrington in March this year.
A coroner is now to write a report to the Health Secretary after he said Tony's case highlighted concerns regarding a 'lack of communication' between physical and mental health teams 'each working in isolation.'
