A 24-YEAR-OLD who had a 'smile that could light up a room,' took his own life after struggling with mental health issues, an inquest heard.

Cockermouth Coroner’s Court was told how Kallam Martin Robson, a much-loved father, son, and brother, died on March 15 at Furness Abbey in Barrow.

His mother, Tammy Bond, gave a statement which was read to the court, paying tribute to her son.

She said: “I will never forget his charm or his smile.

“He was a well behaved child and was so full of character and shared a loving bond with his child and took on the role as a step-father as well.

“He was always a joker and would help anyone in need.

“His smile lit up a room, it is a pity he could not see what others saw in him.

“Words cannot describe how much I will miss him.”

The inquest was also told how Mr Robson had stopped his BAE apprenticeship after two years, as he was not enjoying it.

He moved on to do removals and then a cleaning job, a role he enjoyed due to the active nature of the work.

Ella Woods, Mr Robson’s girlfriend at the time, had issued a statement that was read to the inquest,.

She outlined how his mental health had suffered after the death of his grandmother.

“He was upset and started to decline after the death of his nanna,” she said in her statement.

“He would wake up in the middle of the night and I would hear him crying downstairs.”

She went on to say how Mr Robson had sent her a text on March 15.

She was out when Mr Robson text her to say that he was at Furness Abbey and he was going to take his own life.

Later that day a police officer attended her home address, and told her that he had died.

A statement given by Mr Robson's sister, Demi, explained how she had given him a lift to Chetwynde School after he had claimed had been kicked out of the house by his girlfriend.

She described how her brother had a bag with him at the time she picked him up, and when she dropped him off he then walked towards the area of Furness Abbey.

Rachael Warwick, a team leader for the mental health unit at Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, explained how Mr Robson had emotionally unstable personality disorder which, at times, lead him to be distressed, irritable, and paranoid.

Her statement also said he self-referred in 2018 due to feeling depressed over not being able to see his son.

GP Dr O’Donovan also gave a statement which explained Mr Robson was struggling with anger issues in 2019, and that he was actively seeking ways to improve his condition through medication as well as getting back to going to the gym.

Coroner Ms Kirsty Gomersal concluded that Mr Robson's death was a result of suicide. She said: “This was as a result of a deliberate act and I’m satisfied that he made this decision.”
