EATING HIS WORDS Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak left speechless after player's odd comment
A BRAVE nurse who lost her legs and an arm after developing sepsis was found hanged by her heartbroken husband.
Jayne Carpenter, 53, was left with just one limb after a cough turned into sepsis four years ago.
The keen traveller had been fundraising to get pioneering limb surgery that is not available on the NHS.
She had raised over £20,000 of her £265,000 target when she died, but had said that she was “enduring” life rather than enjoying it.
An inquest heard that her heartbroken husband Rob, 56, got a call from his wife asking him to pick up their dog.
He arrived at their home in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, at around 4.30pm in December 2020 to find her hanged.
Robert paid tribute to his wife at the hearing, calling her an “amazing” person and added "the brightest star in my sky has burnt out."
Jayne had been desperate to lead an active lifestyle despite her medical complications, but her independence had been “stripped overnight.”
Speaking at the inquest Robert said that his wife was a "happy, bubbly, sociable person" who had a passion for "travelling around the world" when they first met.
Jayne developed sepsis in 2016 after going to the doctor with a cough, and was diagnosed with pneumonia while in hospital.
She spent two months in a coma and had both her legs and one arm amputated because of the illnesses.
After her amputations, Mr Carpenter said his wife "put all her effort into regaining her life" and "she amazed us as a family".
He said that, as a sepsis awareness advocate, her experiences were used to "assist the education of medical students".
But, in November 2019, he noticed "a sudden decline" in Jayne’s mental health and she began drinking more alcohol.
The inquest heard that Jayne took an overdose twice, and had felt that the pandemic stopped her enjoying things that were important to her.
Toxicology reports showed that she had a “large quantity” of alcohol in her system, but cops did not find a suicide note.
Assistant Coroner for South Wales Central, Dr Sarah-Jane Richards, recorded a narrative verdict.
She ruled that Jayne had “died by self-ligature in circumstances where her intention could not be discerned.”
Dr Richards added that her desire to live was “challenged” by “traumatic, life-changing events.
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.

Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse to the Duchess of Cambridge who was found dead last week after being pranked, hanged herself by the neck in the nurses’ quarters, the coroner reported on Thursday. There were also injuries to her wrist. She left three suicide notes and as well as several emails, which officials say help explain why she took her own life. Detectives are talking to Saldanha’s family, friends and witnesses to last week’s tragedy to try to establish the circumstances that may have led to her death. Saldanha was found dead in her nurses’ chambers last Friday, a few days after treating the Duchess of Cambridge and being fooled by two Australian DJs trying to learn information about the duchess’s condition.

A nurse sacked for having sex with a patient killed herself just four days into a misconduct hearing, an inquest has heard.
Elizabeth Watts, 38, was found hanged after lurid details about her sexual encounters with a male patient in his 40s were made public.
She was fired from her job after the patient informed hospital officials about their affair, which started after he was admitted to A&E.
Tragic: Nurse Elizabeth Watts was found hanged just hours after being admitted to a specialist psychiatric unit
Scene: North Devon District Hospital where Elizabeth Watts worked as a nurse and was alleged to have started a sexual relationship with a patient
Miss Watts was fired following an internal investigation and both were then called to appear at a Nursing and Midwifery Council tribunal.
During that hearing the patient said that Miss Watts had taken him back to her house for 'rough sex' after he was discharged.
He also claimed she committed a sex act while he was on a hospital trolley - which she denied.
Miss Watts admitted having sex with him but said nothing had happened until after he had been discharged from hospital.
The misconduct hearing was then adjourned so Miss Watts could appear and give her evidence - but four days later she was found dead.
The inquest in Plymouth heard yesterday how Miss Watts , of Appledore, Devon, took an overdose two days after the hearing but was saved by a friend.
An ambulance was called and she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and sent to a psychiatric unit.
But she was found hanged in her room at 4am on Friday, January 28 - despite being observed by staff every 15 minutes
Hearing: Miss Watts admitted having sex with the man and swapping e-mails but said nothing untoward took place until after he was discharged.
The inquest heard she had become depressed about the case.
A statement by her friend Michael Harries said: 'At the end of February 2009, she told my wife and I that she had been suspended from her job.
'She had no intention of telling anybody what it was about. She didn't tell me any of the details but she did say it was serious.
'She was no more graphic than that. In the two years after the complaint she became more and more depressed.
'She loved nursing and if that was taken away from her she wouldn't know what to do.
'Lizzie had made her mind up that she wanted to take her own life. It was inevitable at some stage she would get her wish.'
Overdose: The inquest heard Miss Watts died two days after being transferred to a psychiatric facility following a suspected overdose
Miss Watts lost her job after the patient came forward and said they'd had sex after he was admitted to the A&E department of the North Devon District Hospital in Barnstaple in February, 2009.
She was later suspended and sacked from the hospital where she had worked since 1998, after qualifying as a nurse in 1995.
On January 24, 2011, the NMC hearing - established to decide if she should be struck off - heard the patient had been rushed to the hospital.
He told the conduct hearing that Miss Watts had 'taken advantage' of him while he was still in hospital.
He said Miss Watts - known as Lizzie to her friends - had stroked him in a 'personal area' on a trolley in the middle of the night.
He then said she offered him a lift to his home when he was released but then took him to her house in Appledore.
He told the misconduct hearing she joined him in the shower before taking him to her bedroom.
He said: 'I can't say that she forced me because I could have walked away .
'She wanted everything to be rough.'
The panel heard they continued meeting over the following two days, exchanged a series of explicit e-mails and text messages.
Service: Miss Watts had worked at the hospital for several years before the allegations were made public
But when their correspondence fizzled out on February 27 he reported the nurse to the North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust.
Miss Watts admitted having sex with him but denied anything happened at the hospital and said their sexual relationship had begun the next evening.
The hearing was adjourned until May 16, 2011, so she could attend in person to take to the witness stand in her defence.
But four days after the patient's evidence was heard on January 28, 2011, police were called to an address in Appledore after receiving reports of someone with a suspected overdose.
Miss Watts was taken to North Devon District Hospital - where she had worked for several years.
She was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and transferred to NHS Plymouth's Glenbourne Unit, a psychiatric facility. She died two days later.
The inquest heard psychiatric unit staff slept on duty and failed to check properly on Elizabeth Watts the night she died.
Sergeant Steve Foale, of Devon & Cornwall Police, told the inquest that staff at the psychiatric unit had not followed procedures correctly.
This included staff sleeping on their breaks, not updating records after a computer malfunction, and not placing Miss Watts in an observational room.

Rebecca Nurse conceptualized drawing
Rebecca Towne Nurse of Salem Village, Massachusetts was probably the most famous of the “ witches ” of the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria .
Rebecca was one of three sisters accused and imprisoned for witchcraft. One of her sisters, Sarah Towne Cloyce survived. However, Rebecca and her sister Mary Towne Easty were hanged.
The daughter of William and Joanna Blessing Towne, Rebecca was born in Great Yarmouth, England in 1621. Her family later immigrated to the United States, settling in Salem Village in 1640. She married Francis Nurse in about 1644 and the couple would eventually have eight children. Her husband made a variety of wooden household items, a skill that was rare in the area, so he was much esteemed. He also rented a large 300-acre farm which he gradually bought over his lifetime. He was also often asked to be an unofficial judge to help settle matters around the village and in 1672, served as Salem’s Constable. The family was regular church members and were held in high esteem by the community. However, they had, unfortunately, been involved in a number of land disputes with the powerful Putnam family .
The elderly Rebecca Nurse is brought to the Salem Village Meeting House
On March 23, 1692, a warrant was issued for Rebecca’s arrest based on a complaint made by Edward and John Putnam . This took the village by surprise as Rebecca, who was 71 years old at the time, had acquired a reputation for exemplary piety in the community. Upon hearing of the accusations, Rebecca said, “I am innocent as the child unborn, but surely, what sin hath God found out in me unrepented of, that He should lay such an affliction on me in my old age.” A warrant was issued for her arrest on March 23, 1692, she was examined and sent to jail.
Although a large number of friends, neighbors, and family members wrote petitions testifying to her innocence, she was tried for acts of witchcraft in June 1692. In her trial, she, like others accused of witchcraft, represented herself since she was not allowed to have a lawyer represent her. Though a number of community members testified on her behalf, the young Ann Putnam, Jr. and other “afflicted” girls broke out into fits, claiming that Nurse was tormenting them. The jury first returned a “not guilty” verdict, but was told to reconsider, and then brought in a verdict of “guilty.”
Governor Phips pardoned her but was later persuaded to reverse his decision by several men from Salem. She was excommunicated from the Salem Village church and hanged on July 19, 1692. Her house in Danvers, the former Salem Village, still stands and is open to visitors. A large monument also marks her grave in the Nurse family cemetery on the grounds.
Less than 20 years after her death, she was fully exonerated.
