💨 Abstract

Lance Corporal Bernard Mongan's body was found decomposing in his barracks room three weeks after his death, with his widow, Beth, believing he took his own life due to bullying. The coroner recorded an open conclusion, citing uncertainty over the cause of death due to decomposition. Witnesses testified to Mongan experiencing bullying and distress. Beth expressed disappointment with the Army's handling of the situation and the delay in finding his body.
