A MUM took her own life the day after her son also killed himself when his best friend died suddenly, an inquest heard.<\/p>\n

Gemma Marie Bond, 44, was found dead in a hotel in Telford, Shropshire, on June 25.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Tragically, her son Ben Bond had taken his own life in woodland the day before after he was "badly affected" by pal Jack Gilbert's death.<\/p>\n

An inquest was told Jack died suddenly at home on May 31 after taking non-prescription drugs.<\/p>\n

Shropshire senior coroner John Ellery said: "It's a tragic link. It all traces back to Jack's death and the effect it had on Ben.<\/p>\n

"Sadly there is a link between the three deaths of Jack, Ben and Gemma."<\/p>\n

You’re Not Alone<\/h3>\n

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.<\/p>\n

It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.<\/p>\n

It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.<\/p>\n

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.<\/p>\n

Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.<\/p>\n

That is why\u00a0The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.<\/p>\n

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.<\/p>\n

Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others…\u00a0You're Not Alone.<\/p>\n
