A mum-of-four sent a tragic Facebook message to her daughter the day before her teenage son found her body in a cupboard under the stairs. Naomi Parton's body was found by her 18-year-old son Cameron Carmichael after he woke and could not find her. The 38-year-old mum had been battling anxiety and depression, reports Stoke-on-Trent Live. An inquest heard how Cameron had stayed up with his mum in the kitchen along with his friend until 4.45am when they went to bed. But when he woke up at 11am, she was nowhere to be seen. He left the house in Kidsgrove, to search Bathpool Park before deciding to return to check if she had taken her coat from the cupboard. It was then that he came across 38-year-old Naomi's body causing him to drop to the floor. The emergency services were called but paramedics were unable to save her and she was pronounced dead at the scene at around 5pm on May 5. The inquest at North Staffordshire Coroner's Court heard Naomi had a history of anxiety and depression. And her son described her as suffering from bipolar and that she would become more erratic when she had been drinking. The night before she died she had been round to a friend's house. Cameron said: "My mum went out at 6.30pm to go to a friend's house and I went out at 7pm to the pub with my friends. "I later got a call telling me to return to the house because my mum was on her own but didn't have any keys. I went to the address and my mum had smashed a small side window on the ground floor to get into the house. "I thought she was drunk as I've seen her drunk enough times and I went back to the pub with my friends. I returned to the house with my friend at around 2am. "My mum was upset in the kitchen drinking gin, she has bipolar and is usually more erratic when drinking. We stayed up until 4.45am and she seemed to be in good spirits." On the day she died Naomi had sent a Facebook message to her daughter Bethany Parton saying 'I'm sorry'. The inquest heard how Naomi had mentioned to her GP that that she had been experiencing suicidal thoughts in October 2018 and admitted to binge drinking two bottles of wine a week. She was prescribed anti-depressants and an appointment was made for her to see the North Staffordshire Well Being Service on November 1, but she failed to attend. North Staffordshire Assistant Coroner Sarah Murphy gave a cause of death as asphyxiation due to hanging and concluded that her death was a result of suicide. She said: "The deceased had a long standing history of anxiety and depression but failed to engage with the community mental health services. "It is pure speculation whether had she engaged with the system whether that might have altered the circumstances for Miss Parton." The Samaritans is available 24/7 if you need to talk.
