999 and Samaritans both good advice. She needs support so if people can be around her to help her through that will be good

Wishing you all the very best of luck, sounds to me like she has a very real need for medical professionals without delay.

Thanks all. 999 & Samaritans called. I’m going to try to be with her tonight, but I’m told she isn’t letting anyone into the property atm.

The number to call, and they also take calls from concerned friends, is

0300 304 0078

Staffed 24/7, it’s the Mental Health Rapid Response Service, they’ll take all calls very seriously.

Good luck and all the best to the person suffering.

Can you try and get in when paramedics arrive ? Sounds like they really need someone with them . Wishing all concerned the very best.

That’s what I’m planning, as long as I’m there in time. I also don’t know if paramedics have the right to force entry if needed. I don’t even know under what circumstances the police can...

I would've thought if someone is seriously threatening to take their own life, the Police and Paramedics will have every right to break in.
I really hope the poor woman can get help straight away...its a horrendous situation - and I wish all the family and friends sincere condolences too.

This has shaken me quite a bit - I know no-one on here personally, but feel like we are all affected by hearing this news from a fellow Seagull. Please keep us updated. :(
