Coroner Graeme Irvine said this could be because Ms. Ramplin’s body had to be embalmed to be returned to the UK.
He said, “It seems like pressure was put on the blood vessels in her throat that caused her to pass out and then die.
“There was no sign of traumatic injury or fighting.”
He continued, “We know there was an incident in 2019 where Sam was examined by the local psychiatric trust, the Essex Partnership University Trust.
“Basically, while drunk, Sam had made remarks to people around her that she was considering ending her life.
“Those who are taking care of her decided to call an ambulance and she was taken to a safe place for a short time.

“When she was sober again, an assessment was made by a psychiatric nurse on May 9, 2019, and it seems that Sam’s presentation was really regretted.
“She assured the psychiatric nurse that she was previously very distressed, upset and overwhelmed after the death of her son, and was drunk.
“She told people that she wanted to be with her son.”
Her sister, who attended the hearing from afar, said she remembers walking to Denny’s grave with Ms. Ramplin on his 19th birthday.
She said, “She came to me last October and we went to Denny’s grave on his 19th birthday.

Ms. Thompson added, “She was stubborn in her own way. She wouldn’t accept help so easily.

“She believed there would be another life after that and I don’t know if that helped, but I hope she got through the two years without Denny.”

“After a period of stabilization, Ms. Ramplin thought about it and it seemed like the doctors were reassured that with some support, she would be stable.
“She said she had a very supportive family and was discharged from mental health service with this insurance and she said she was in Spain for some time.
“Sam was prescribed two types of medication by her family doctor, an antidepressant and a sleeping pill.
