I don't know what to say, on several levels.
It is revealed that the deceased had a degree in psychology. Why did he choose this degree?
Did he recognise something in himself which was ‘unusual’?
A clinical psychologist (specialising in aviation?) could perhaps give an insight.
Certain regrettable characteristics present in the Sala accident scenario seem to occur here?
Without wishing to prejudice the Coroner’s findings in anyway, I would sum up the deceased conduct as ‘reckless’.
I attach no blame to any individual on the day who attempted to provide him with advice/guidance.
If he hadn’t kill himself at Troutbeck, it was probably unfortunately just a question of time…
