Tragic teenager Hannah Carpenter took her own life, an inquest has found

The 18-year-old was found dead at a beauty spot in Redruth, West Cornwall, a day after she left her family home. Her devastated dad David said his daughter took everything to heart and "couldn't see what a beautiful girl she was".


He told the inquest: "She had a good job, a loving boyfriend and looked stunning but she thought she was fat and talentless. "Hannah was also fantastic at art but couldn't see what a beautiful girl she was.
"She had it all but it either wasn't enough or was too much of a good thing."

Boyfriend Luke Whitaker paid tribute to his girlfriend who he met at TK Maxx where the pair both worked.

He said: "When she walked into a room, everyone was happier because she was there.
"Unfortunately she would feel so bad about one negative comment, she would overlook 1,000 good ones."
