Pictured: Beaconsfield Coroner s Court A nurse who was found dead at her house took her own life after leaving letters for her children, an inquest heard this week. Yvonne Costin’s neighbours discovered she had died after they went to check on her at her home in Buckingham Gate, Medmenham, on September 12 last year, when she stopped responding to her husband Andrew’s messages. Two notes were found written to her children that contained “expressions of sorrow and intent”, as well as various packets of opened and unopened medication, the inquest was told. In a statement read out to Beaconsfield Coroner s Court on Wednesday, Mr Costin, who is in the RAF, said he was away for work and was informed by their neighbour that Mrs Costin, 47, had passed away.
