A mother-of-three died after she fell from the top floor of a car park.

The incident that took place in October last year on Darley Street, saw shoppers trying to revive Rebecca Sykes, after she fell from the top floor of a Bradford shopping mall.

The 48-year-old was known to have a major mood disorder and was seeking help from mental health professionals.

She was taken to Leeds General Infirmary, but later died in hospital.

Coroner Oliver Longstaff said: “It would be unjust to declare I’m certain she intended to take her own life, when I’m anything but that. Rebecca Sykes died from multiple injuries from a fall. At the time, her mental state could not be determined.”
