Student, 20, tracks down kind stranger who stopped her taking her own life
A first-year student has tracked down the quick-thinking father-of-two who stopped her taking her own life by jumping off a bridge. Jess Paramor, then 19, was about to jump in Maidstone, Kent last January when Tony Witton, 56, talked her off the ledge. Four days later, the student, who suffers from mental illnesses, returned to the same area to end her own life - only to be rescued by a second man and wife on their way home from the cinema. Now recovered, Ms Paramor is studying pharmaceutical science at the University of Lincoln and hopes to improve psychiatric medicine in the future.
