Corner stated cause of death hanging, just shows that you never know what is going on in people's heads.

He had mental health problems for a few years, Mick. Lots of sympathetic friends, with the means to support him if necessary, but he still couldn't see a way out.
It's just such a shame that, with the amount of people jumping on this particular health issue, it's difficult to spot the genuinely sick ones.
RIP, Ricky, you were a diamond.

Being battered around the head ( or knocked out cold as was the case with Ricky) probably doesn't help with both physical and mental health
There was an ex-rugby player in the last week or so who has been diagnosed with something nasty. I can't quite remember his name. :-X

Yes Steve, it's really very sad despite all the help that he could have had he could not rid himself of his demons, an awful way to die by hanging yourself especially in the last few seconds of life, indeed may he now Rest in Peace.

Now that girlies play it, it will become non-contact....

Ive had two old mates hang themselves in the last ten years.
No-one saw it coming and couldnt understand why.
Afaik, serious depression is caused by a change of chemistry in the brain, and still a bit of a mystery even to medical professionals.
Medication can sometimes help, but can also make it a whole lot worse for some people.
People often say they should just pull themselves together, which according to someone who was a sufferer I know, is like telling someone with a broken leg to go on holiday and it will get better.

One of my old gaffers jumped in front of an intercity, believed to be he couldn’t handle the bullying from his gaffer

Doctors are prone to top themselves.
My Grandmother had two doctors top themselves. I suppose seeing sick people all day long isn't good for your health.

Crippling student loan debt won't help matters.

Not real debt because in reality you only have to pay it back when you are in work. The less you earn the less you need to pay. No job and you pay SFA. Most student loans are not paid in full.
Unlike debt on a house or car, where they generally don't care if you have a job, or not. They are quite happy to take your car and house away.

Doctors and dentists soon get to a point where they are paying it, nurses too given their pay rises...
And when you spend 7 or 8 years accruing it, the debt burden takes a while to chomp through.

You very seldom 'chomp through'. My lad is on plan2, and the interest charged each year is RPI+3%. It's more likely to increase every year than fall.

Best thing he can do is to get a side job and plough every penny into paying it off as soon as possible.

No. You don't get a side job when you work in his job.

Mind you I’ve seen (if it’s correct) dentists earnings are set to rise from £130 per hour to £150 per hour.
