Young woman took her own life after more than a decade of fearing she would fall victim to Huntington's disease that killed her grandfather and mother
A young woman took her own life after more than a decade of living in fear that she would fall victim to Huntington’s disease that killed her grandfather and mother, an inquest heard. ‘The loss of her mother a year earlier hit her incredibly hard,’ he told the inquest. Ms Martinez’s mother, Traz, then passed away in April 2024 when she was only in her mid-50s. As Ms Martinez’s mental health declined, she received support from various services including community health teams and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT). Mr Martinez has since given up work as a teach to become a mental health home carer in her memory.
