A mum-of-one was found decomposing in her home 11 days after taking her own life.
Kelly Amos-Messenger married Nigel Messenger, from Litherland, in January 2001 but moved back to her home in the USA 18 years later with her daughter following their divorce. Her mental health began to suffer following the sudden death of her 38-year-old daughter Mandy twelve months later from kidney disease.
The 60-year-old had already been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety when she was younger. The mum-of-one, however, found belonging when the community of Mayfield, Kentucky, rallied together following a deadly tornado in December 2021.
