A LAWYER who beat breast cancer drowned herself in a river after her dad died of Covid.
Jane Macgregor-White, 55, was also down after a ten-year relationship ended, an inquest heard.
The mum of one had been planning a charity trek up Mount Snowdon in dad Ian’s honour.
Son Philip Bateman said: "She seemed to be well, she may have been a bit quieter than usual but nothing out of the ordinary.
“Her death was a complete shock. I think it was the accumulation of effects.
“The death of her own father against the background of her relationship break-up was too much for her.”
The inquest in Woking, Surrey, heard how Philip was awoken by text messages from his mother's ex-partner, asking if he had checked his emails.
After being alerted, Philip found a suicide note from his mother in his inbox.
Jane was in remission after being diagnosed with cancer in 2017.
