A teenage single mother hanged herself after her ex-boyfriend ignored a string of texts she sent to him threatening to kill herself.Chloe Hiller, 17, sent her former sweetheart 37 messages some of which read: 'I can't do this anymore. I hang myself on Friday.' She also told him she planned to buy rope and asked him whether it was possible to buy rope from a garage.
But the boy, also 17, didn't take her warnings seriously and failed to raise the alarm. Chloe was later found hanged at a park near her home in Blackpool, Lancashire, having told staff at a mother and baby unit she felt 'sh***y'.
Police investigated Chloe's ex-boyfriend for possible charges of aiding and abetting her suicide but no action was taken against him. When questioned by detectives he refused to give up Chloe's pin code to her phone.
Officers later accessed the device anyway and found the messages plus photos depicting superficial self-harm marks on a girl's body. They could not be sure the pictures were of Chloe.
