Dad who left the Army and became a HGV driver found dead in back of lorry
A 'bubbly' and 'much-loved' HGV driver and Army veteran was found dead in the back of his lorry in a lay-by, an inquest heard. Dad Drew Howe, 26, from Stockport, was discovered in the trailer of the Scania vehicle on the A18 in Lincolnshire on October 19 last year.
He received hospital treatment after having a 'breakdown' while in the forces and told later told professionals he believed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as well as anxiety and depression. No formal diagnosis was ever made. The hearing was told there were 'at least two other occasions' when he had been taken to hospital in Lincolnshire after 'reporting intentions to take his life'.
The inquest heard staff deemed him to be 'not stable enough' for such therapy and referred him to the access team run by Pennine Care NHS Foundation trust, based at Stepping Hill hospital, which assessed him on October, 13, six days prior to his death. Ms Catlow said she had since learned there was an 'update' posted on Facebook which appeared to 'cause some concern' and prompt some of his friends to message him, but that none of these responses appeared to have been opened or read by Mr Howe.
