A coroner rules there were no steps that should have been taken to prevent Anugrah Abraham's death.
The family of an aspiring police officer who took his own life after struggling with his training say they believe he he was “set up to fail”.
Concluding the inquest at Rochdale Coroner's Court, senior coroner for Manchester North, Joanne Kearsley, ruled he died from suicide. Speaking outside the court, his sister, Elisheba Abraham, said in a statement on the family’s behalf: “Anu was set up to fail. The inquest heard that Mr Abraham had struggled with mental health issues, but had not told his family the extent of them and felt he did not want to let them down.
She added she would be preparing a prevention of future deaths report to send to the National Police Chiefs' Council about the challenges in addressing mental health in policing.
