Cancer survivor reportedly drowns herself after dad dies of COVID-19

A UK woman who survived breast cancer drowned herself in a river after losing her father to the coronavirus, according to a report.

Jane Macgregor-White, a lawyer who was in remission after being diagnosed with cancer in 2107, also was hit hard by the end of a 10-year relationship, the Sun reported about an inquest.

But she appeared to be doing all right and had also been planning a charity hike up Mount Snowdon in her father’s memory.

“She seemed to be well. She may have been a bit quieter than usual but nothing out of the ordinary,” her son Philip Bateman said. “Her death was a complete shock. I think it was the accumulation of effects.”

Bateman said her breakup and her father’s coronavirus death “was too much for her.”

He woke up to text messages from his mother’s ex-partner asking if he had seen his emails, the inquest in Woking, Surrey, heard.

Bateman then saw his mother’s suicide note.

She committed suicide by driving into a river in her hometown of Guildford while drunk in July, the Sun reported.

“We are all gutted she couldn’t come to us,” her brother Jonathan said after the inquest.
