Unbelievable: Doting Mother Kills Herself After Finding Out Her Dear Son Smoked Marijuana (Photos)

Susan Underwood killed herself after learning that her son smokes cannabis

A mother who loved so much has killed herself after flying into a rage when she found out he had been smoking cannabis, an inquest heard.

According to Sun UK, tattoo artist Susan Underwood, 38, was said to have found the drug in her garden shed before grounding son Brandon, 21. A hearing at Warrington Coroners Court heard around two weeks later Susan allowed Brandon out but ran a knife down her arm before resting it on his shoulder when he arrived back home 45 minutes late.

Less than 10 hours later, Brandon found his mother unconscious on the living room floor of their home in Warrington, Cheshire.

She was found to have taken an overdose of prescription medication and was pronounced dead at the scene on April 7 last year.

Brandon told the hearing: "About two weeks before she died she found out I was involved with the wrong kind of people and smoking. She confronted me about it and I told her the truth.
"She was not happy because it wasn't cigarettes - it was weed. She was so annoyed she went over to have it out with those who gave that to me and I believe she had a scuffle with one or two of them but nothing serious.
"She gave them back whatever she found, came home and rung the police. In her anger she was saying things like I was a disappointment to her.

"After that incident she got concerned when I went out and wanted me to stay in all the time. She was paranoid about my movements.


"On April 6 I asked if I could go out with a few friends. She agreed and we had been out walking around. But I came in at quarter to 11 and should have been home at 10pm and I noticed she had been drinking.
"She picked up a kitchen knife and started dragging the tip of it down her arm. I said 'what's that going to achieve?'
"She came and rested it on my shoulder blade. She never hit me, this was the first time she ever did anything like this.
"At 12:05 I got ready and went downstairs that's when I found her lying in between the coffee table and fireplace. I checked for a pulse on her wrist and neck and couldn't find any.
"She was rarely violent to me, she had a history of mental health problems which started when her father died. She had and tested positive for bipolar (disorder)."

Registered mental health nurse, Katie Toohey, said: "Ms Underwood had experienced increased symptoms of panic attacks after the setting up of her own business two weeks previously as the likely trigger. She expressed feeling she would be better off dead but denied any plans of ending her life."

Mrs Underwood's ex partner, Franz Spitzenberger, said: "Sue loved both of her children very much - she was a very clean and tidy person and loved motorbikes, drawing and DIY.
"I got on well with Brandon we had a common interest in cars but we would often argue because I felt she wrapped Brandon in cotton wool."

Recording a conclusion of suicide, coroner Jean Harkin, said: "It's very clear that Sue Underwood had anger management issues.
"She threatened her son which she had never done before - and it appears her anxiety had surfaced again shortly before her death."

She told Brandon: "It's very clear that your mother thought a lot about you and you need to remember those times and remember what a good person she was."
