TRIBUTES have been paid to a much-loved dad who died at the age of 29.

Jordan Watson was found unresponsive at his home in Ulverston on October 22.

The dad-of-two, who worked as an associate manufacturing engineer at BAE Systems, was rushed to Furness General Hospital in a state of cardiac arrest.

Despite numerous attempts to revive Mr Watson, the decision was made to discontinue treatment and he was pronounced dead at 6.20pm.

His partner Bethany Milburn relayed the sequence of events of October 22 at an inquest held into his death.

She said the pair had engaged in a number of heated arguments that day, in which he had threatened to kill himself which he later said was a ‘cry for help’.

Bethany later visited his home in Ulverston but had no response at the property.

Mr Watson's brother Ryan gained entry into his sibling’s address through a window after Bethany told him of concerning text messages sent that day.

The court heard he was found hanging in a bedroom. Ryan began chest compressions and CPR before paramedics arrived at the scene.

Mr Watson was taken to Furness General Hospital in cardiac arrest where he later died.

Evidence was heard from his GP about his struggles with anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Phone evidence recovered from his phone by police showed he had created videos for his son and partner Bethany before he died.

In the videos, police said he was visibly distressed and expressed his love for his son and partner. He did not explicitly say he was intending on ending his own life, but it was implied, the court heard.

The family told the coroner that they did not believe he intended to end his life, instead, they said his actions were a cry for help due to ongoing issues in his relationship.

The family said he had made future plans including making arrangements to see a friend, putting an exercise bike up for sale and ordering food to be delivered.

The family also noted there was no video made for his other son which pointed to further evidence that his actions were a cry for help.

Coroner Kirsty Gomersal said it was her judgment that his actions were a ‘cry for help’ and a ‘threat gone wrong’.

Ms Gomersal said she accepts hanging is a very deliberate and dangerous act but believes, on the balance of probabilities, that he did not intend to take his own life that day.

His father Frank Watson told the court that his son loved boxing, football and skateboarding, and their family is ‘devastated’ by his loss.

He said: “Jordan is adored by all his family and his two sons who he loved so much. His family are totally devastated. Our lives will never be the same again. We’ve lost a wonderful son with a very big heart. He was always there for anyone who needed him.

“He had a great sense of humour and sense of fun. We’ll never get used to Jordan not being here anymore.”

A toxicology report showed the prescribed medication tramadol and buspirone in his system at the time of his death as well as the presence of cannabis.

A cause of death of hanging was given to the court.

Concluding, coroner Kirsty Gomersal recorded a narrative conclusion.
