A delivery driver opened up to NHS workers about the trauma surrounding his father's death in Nigeria just days before taking his own life.

Bishop Ebor, died on February 18 at his home in Smeat Street in Norwich having suffered a complex history of mental ill health.

In the weeks leading up to his death, he complained of feeling as though his issues were not being taken seriously enough by mental health services.

His comments, made to his ex-partner, came following a discussion with a wellbeing practitioner of the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.

During this consultation, he recounted a traumatic experience in his native Nigeria, in which he and his brother were forced to carry their father's body to a cemetery after his death.

Daisy Gibson, the practitioner he had spoken to, told an inquest into his death she suggested bereavement support, but after he said he wanted to focus on his depression, rather than his grief, she instead offered him a place on a wellbeing seminar.

Kimberly Kerr, his ex-partner, said Mr Ebor had told her this had left him feeling he was not being taken seriously.

Following his death, NSFT conducted a safety investigation review, which concluded Ms Gibson had not shown enough "professional curiosity" in planning his care, resulting in him being given a "generic safety plan".

However, the report added: "It is not clear if a more robust plan would have prevented this patient's sad death."

The investigation also suggested that the issue was down to "individual practice" - rather than a wider spread systemic problem.

Area coroner Yvonne Blake concluded that Mr Ebor's death was suicide.
