  "account": "An inquest in the UK has found that three sisters who drowned off Brighton took their own lives, BBC reports. Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, had lived secluded lives in London following their mother's death in 2010. Their cousin Natalie Walters-Daniel said the sisters never recovered from their mother's passing. On May 13, the women traveled to Brighton after leaving London on May 11, despite adverse conditions and inability to swim. The coroner, Penelope Schofield, noted the sisters were private and their reasons for their actions might never be known. Postmortem tests showed no evidence of drugs or violence. Their father described the deaths as a \"heartbreak beyond anything I could ever have imagined.\" If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available.",
