A heartbroken Waitrose worker took his own life after breaking up with his girlfriend.

Adam Aldosari was seen hanging from a tree by a passer-by along the River Medway towpath close to the Malta Inn.

The 20-year-old had moved to England from his native Poland in the summer of 2016 to be with his girlfriend, but their relationship ended.

Police were called to the site, opposite Allington Castle, at around 6am on April 1 following reports a body had been seen.

Mr Aldosari was cut down by police officers who started CPR before medics arrived and confirmed he had died.

Investigators found a backpack belonging to him containing a note pad with words and phrases such as “kill yourself”.

He had also told his ex-girlfriend that he “may as well kill himself” but turned down the offer of help from her and the suggestion of seeing a psychologist.

Assistant Coroner Ian Wade recorded a conclusion of suicide during an inquest held at Archbishops Palace.

He said: “I am satisfied that the medical cause of death is suspension. That was plainly caused by the act of hanging.

“There is no evidence to suggest anybody else was involved. What happened was entirely due to Adam’s own and deliberate actions.

“He was perhaps feeling a little adrift in this country. He was someone who appeared to have become dejected and unhappy at his particular life in late March and early April.

“The discovery of a note in his backpack which contains significant readings indicated a desire to end his life.

“I conclude they are Adam’s words written in direct reference to a decision to take his own life. It was Adam’s wish and his right to take the particular steps he did.”
