18-year-old Royal Marine recruit Connor Clark's suicide during training linked to mental health care failures and equipment loss.
18-year-old Royal Marine recruit, Connor Clark, took his own life during his initial commando training in Devon after losing a piece of equipment. Inquest findings concluded that failures in Clark's mental health care contributed to his death. Senior coroner Philip Spinney criticized the loss of the blank firing adapter for his weapon, and the failure to call a mental health conference for Clark, who expressed feelings of being called a "failure" and the "worst recruit."
