"I've lost my job. My home. My ability to speak. And the truth has been taken out of my hands and used as entertainment. I can't spend every day hidden away, being told not to say or speak to anyone." Now, as this week's inquest came to an end, coroner Mary Hassell ruled on Thursday that Caroline took her life, fearing public trial, reports"Although general fluctuating state was a background and important in her death, I find the reason for her taking her life was she now knew she was being prosecuted for certainty, and she knew she would face the media, press, publicity — it would all come down upon her," she said."To me, that's it in essence.
