The parents of a woman who overdosed on diet pills have repudiated a coroner’s finding of suicide.

Beth Shipsey, 21, succumbed after taking pills containing highly-toxic DNP in 2017.

Worcestershire coroner Geraint Williams concluded Ms Shipsey are aiming to take her own life and would have died regardless of medical failings.

But her father Doug said her demise “was a miscalculation, a huge mistake. It was another cry for help”.
