A man battling anxiety and depression was found dead at home following a night out with his partner, an inquest heard. A coroner said he couldn't be sure Anthony Rodden intended to end his own life after he was found hanged in February.
The 30-year-old - described as 'loved, talented, eccentric and flamboyant' - suffered with low mood and struggled with his mother's death in 2020, Bolton Coroners' Court was told.
He had 'triggers which changed his personality', the court heard. Mr Rodden was treated by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust staff at home in February 2022, around a year before his death.
He was discharged after a few months of treatment and 'appeared fine' in the following weeks, the court heard. Mr Rodden, who lived in Wigan and worked as a recruitment coordinator performed stand-up comedy. The court heard he went out with his partner Jasmine Humphries on February 18.

She told the court he had a good time and performed at a karaoke night. Mr Rodden returned home alone in the early hours after his mood deteriorated. Ms Humphries described it as an 'episode of mental health'.
"He would sometimes lose touch with reality and get angry for no reason," she told the court. Ms Humphries told the court she tried to ring him between around 6am and 7am the following morning, but didn't get a response.
Tragically, she went to his home and found him dead. His cause of death was recorded as hanging. Police were called. No third-party involvement was established.
The court heard Mr Rodden's loved ones believed it was an 'impulsive' act. Forensic toxicologist Dr Simon Elliott told the court Mr Rodden had alcohol, cocaine and cannabis
