A father took his own life after he couldn't get over the death of his daughter, who died after a botched 'Brazilian bum lift' surgery in Turkey in 2018, an inquest heard.
Craig Cambridge, 51, was found hanging at his home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, last April after his life 'sprialled downwards' - three years after his daughter Leah, 29, died when the operation went wrong.
An inquest into his death heard he was never able to get past the loss of his daughter - as the coroner said he would send the report to the surgeon to make him aware of the 'tentacles' of the tragedy.
Mr Cambridge also suffered from depression and alcohol dependency in the years after his daughter's death, the inquest heard.

She had three heart attacks on the operating table at the clinic while undergoing the Brazilian bum lift procedure.
Senior coroner Kevin McLoughlin, who conducted inquests into both Craig and Leah's deaths, said he was incensed the surgeon had 'stood well clear' of the incident.
Returning a verdict of suicide today, Mr McLoughlin said: 'I am reliant on the pathologist for the cause of death, which in this case is hanging.
'This was a suicide attributed in part to the death of his daughter who died in surgery in Turkey.'
And he said he intends to write to Dr Ali Uckan and the medical authorities in Turkey to make them aware of the 'tentacles' of grief the botched surgery has had.
