Woman ‘overwhelmed’ by loneliness killed herself and disabled daughter, coroner says
AI Summary
Martina Karos, a 40-year-old translator and full-time carer, killed herself and her eight-year-old disabled daughter, Eleni Edwards, at their home in Salford, Greater Manchester, on September 23, 2024. A coroner's inquest concluded that Karos was overwhelmed by loneliness and mental health struggles following a relationship breakup and the challenges of caring for her daughter, who was blind and had limited mobility. Despite receiving extensive support services, including daily carers, social workers, respite care, and therapy, Karos remained socially isolated. The coroner ruled that Karos died by suicide and Eleni was unlawfully killed, both succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning. Friends described Karos as a loving mother who was deeply affected by her isolation.
