Tragic Loss of Ewan: A Heartfelt Story
In a heart-wrenching incident, 19-year-old Ewan Seath tragically lost his life after crashing his car into a tree at 95mph. The inquest revealed he left behind a simple yet devastating note for his mum: “Sorry Mum.” It was shockingly uncovered that Ewan had discussed his intentions with friends just before the tragic event.
Ewan, who was diagnosed with ADHD and autism, had stopped taking his medication for a while, feeling it left him emotionally numb. His mum said he seemed calm but noticed he wasn’t acting like his usual self in the week leading up to his death. Despite his challenges, Ewan was seen as talented and hardworking, leaving a lasting impression on those around him.
His mother spoke fondly of her son’s intelligence, determination, and plans for the future. Ewan, known for his humour and loyalty, has left a significant void in the lives of his loved ones. Remembering his achievements and the bright future he envisioned, his family and friends remain heartbroken by his sudden departure.
The inquest highlighted that the high doses of ADHD medication present in Ewan’s system could have contributed to risky and erratic behaviour, enhancing the very behaviours it was meant to curb. Coroner Jason Pegg concluded that Ewan took his own life, supported by the messages left for his friends and family.
