A British man has taken his own life after being unable to cope with the stress of being shuttered inside due to coronavirus social-distancing, Yahoo News U.K. reports. The man was known to have had underlying mental health issues.
The United Kingdom is under strict orders that limit how often people can be outside of their homes. That meant that Daniel Furniss, 34, was effectively confined to his home in Waterlooville, Hampshire. What’s more, since he had diabetes, he was considered a “high-risk person” and was under even tighter restrictions that limited his movement.
Further, Mr. Furniss had struggled with bi-polar disorder since he was a teenager.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Daniel’s sister, Chelsea, noted that Mr. Furniss started signaling on social media that the lockdown was taking a toll on his mental health.
