21 year-old fashion student killed herself just hours after she helped to scatter the ashes of her ex-boyfriend who had also taken his own life. Hannah Greensides was found dead by her father in a field near the family's home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire on June 14, six weeks after the death of her former boyfriend Julian Barthel, 32.


An inquest into Miss Greensides's death heard how a friend of Mr Barthel had claimed the pair made a 'suicide pact' a fortnight before he died on May 2.

He was found hanged by a dog walker in Alderley Edge, and his inquest in September was told that he had left a note urging Miss Greensides to watch a film with a suicide plotline.

But Miss Greensides's father Nigel Greensides refuted claims the couple, who had met while working at nearby pub The Merlin, had pledged to kill themselves together, and called the suggestion 'rubbish'. 

'There was no evidence there was a suicide pact, my daughter took her own life but there's nothing to suggest that,' he said. 'I think it's wrong to suggest that.'
