A bride-to-be accidentally killed herself while trying to say goodbye to her dead best friend.

Jazmine Howarth, from Radclifee, thought she could “control death” and meet her friend Dionne Corbett "half-way to heaven".

Miss Howarth’s fiancée found her hanged in a community garden near her home, 24 hours after she had visited Ms Corbett’s body in a chapel of rest.

An inquest at Rochdale Coroner's Court was told Miss Howarth had written letters saying she wanted to meet mother-of-one Miss Corbett “for one last time”, according to the Mirror.

The 25-year-old said after the visit she would carry on with life and “return to the land of the living”.

Ms Corbett’s suicide had left Miss Howarth devastated as the pair had been best friends since they were toddlers.

The inquest heard that two days before Miss Howarth’s death, her fiancée saw her writing down words from a TV signal that was tuning in and out, believing it be a message from her friend.

Coroner Lisa Hashmi said she believed Miss Howard did not mean to kill herself and that she had a “superstitious mind", the Sun reported.

She returned a verdict of death by misadventure.
