Woman kills self over skin condition
 

London, Aug 17: A 31-year-old British woman, who was plagued by a skin condition that caused her face to redden, went into depression that caused her to jump to her death from a bridge. For several months, Vicky Norfolk suffered from rosacea, which looks like a rash. Despite support from her family, the woman descended into depression and resolved to take her own life. She jumped from the Humber Bridge in Hull in February last year. An inquest heard how a month before her suicide, Norfolk cycled to the bridge and climbed over the railing. Police officer Mark Osborn spotted her and persuaded her not to jump. She told him she was very sad and depressed and had decided to come to the bridge to commit suicide. The next month, Norfolk returned to the bridge but decided against jumping. However, a few days later, the policeman cycled over the bridge and saw Norfolk’s cycle in almost the same place as before. But this time she was not there. Her body was found 12 months later. Her 58-year-old mother Anne said her daughter had been a happy person but had become obsessed with her skin condition.  (IANS)
