Soldier, 33, found dead was victim of bullying, inquest hears
A soldier whose body lay undiscovered for three weeks in his barracks room was the victim of 'systematic harassment, bullying by those responsible for his welfare', an inquest heard today.
It was also alleged that the bullies included some of Lance Corporal Bernard Mongan's superiors in his own chain of command.
Lance Corporal Mongan, 33, was found dead in barracks at Catterick, North Yorkshire, on January 23, 2020 - three weeks after he was last seen.
An inquest heard today that he had complained to his bosses about feeling suicidal over Xmas in his single living accommodation over the previous two Christmases.
Welfare checks were supposed to be made on him over the Xmas of 2019-20 - the very period in which he met his death, Northallerton Coroner's Court in North Yorkshire was told.
