Doctor, 51, hanged himself after becoming so depressed about his son needing kidney transplant he could 'barely speak'

A dedicated family doctor, described as the 'perfect GP', killed himself after becoming severely depressed over his son needing a kidney transplant, an inquest was told yesterday. Dr John King, 51, was so anxious about his son Michael's renal failure diagnosis that he could 'barely speak' and had suicidal thoughts. But just ten days before Michael was due to have his operation, Dr King hanged himself at the family home.
