Tory Activist Killed Himself, Coroner Rules

Tory activist Elliott Johnson killed himself after being bullied and felt he had failed in several aspects of life, a coroner said. Senior Bedfordshire and Luton coroner Tom Osborne ruled he was satisfied Mr Johnson intended to take his own life when he was hit by a train in Sandy, Bedfordshire, on 15 September. Mr Johnson, who had alleged he had been bullied by individuals in the Conservative Party, had been suffering from deep depression before he took his own life, the coroner added.
