    I couldn't take in the story, tbh, I was distracted by the spelling and grammatical errors.

    That's the Daily Mail, terrible spelling, grammar and other errors.

    I think this family is a bit dodgy anyway, the husband has been bankrupt and lied about his name a few times in the past (not in this report) + his grandson who was on Manchester City's books killed two people in a car accident

    Vary sad and all that, but it sounds like this was the final, grotesque act of a very disturbed attention seeking narcissist.
    'Princess' and 'greenhouse plant properly taken care of ' surely aren't phrases that any grounded person would want to use to describe themself (with the possible exception of all those 'princesses' living in Essex).

    Reading what her husband says, she's been worried about her looks for a while too - wrinkles and what-not. To be left with a scar on her forehead might have pushed her over the edge.

    The suicide note itself's a bit odd. Apart from reading like it's from a friend to another friend, it says:

    "Please contact [redacted] my friends have to know. The same applies to your mates. Skelly said he was coming!!! Ha ha ... Should be fun !!! Everyone should cheer up."

    That doesn't sound like someone who's planning to end her life because of excruciating pain - it sounds more like planning a party.

    Edit: Darkisland, a trophy wife came to mind when I read that bit.

    Maybe as she was getting older and losing her looks she felt that the end to her usefulness was coming and a replacement would soon be called up

    To me that reads like a woman who isn't quite all there and this has tipped her over the edge. Sounds like she became obsessed and decided to take her own life over it, I'm sure there may be other things in the background but I can believe someone would commit suicide because of this if they had other (perhaps undiagnosed) mental issues.

    In that photo of her with that cat, it looks likes she's about to strangle or eat it.

    Suicidal feelings aren't as simple as that – as someone hanging themselves with a look of misery on their face. The decision to commit suicide is sometimes accompanied by feelings of joy and release, as it is bringing perceived suffering to an end. There is often a feeling of great peace and even sublimity.

    Well, I never realised that. My own dark moments (and those of others I've heard about) have been accompanied by total and utter misery, not joy and release. Just goes to show, you really can learn something new every day. Therefore, I take that comment back.

    The thing that struck me about the suicide note was how formal it looked because it was typed,

    Whenever you hear about these kinds of notes I imagine just something scrawled on a piece if paper but this one wasn't that at all.

    I've known or later heard about quite a few suicides over the years unfortunately, either friends or acquaintances. Every one was different, of course – heartbreak, depression, drugs, insanity – but that's one of things I remember picking up along the way as being true for some people.

    Cheery Wednesday. :D
