A 'DESPERATE' man told a GP dealing with 999 callers 'forget it' minutes before falling to his death in the Manchester Ship Canal. Andrew Heys had visited the spot the day before, but couldn't bring himself to jump. The 29-year-old, from Salford, suffered a severe reaction to a Covid booster vaccine in 2021, an inquest into his death heard. His mental health deteriorated as he battled a life-changing auto-immune disease, relearning how to speak and walk.
Mr Heys' family watched on as his final hours were explored during a hearing at Bolton Coroners Court. Assistant coroner John Pollard said Mr Heys left his Eccles flat the night of March 12 last year. His mum had been staying with him.
He called for an ambulance in the early hours, before ending a conversation with an on-call doctor. CCTV captured Mr Heys climbing over a bridge guardrail before entering the water.
His body was found by police divers three days later. Counselling manager Rebecca Turner said Mr Heys abandoned a bid to take his own life the day before. "He told me he had gone to the place where he would end his life... he didn't tell me where," she added.
