Lady Commits Suicide Because She Was About To Turn 30 With No Husband Or Children

A 29-year-old woman whose greatest wish was to 'settle down and get married' killed herself after becoming troubled that she was approaching 30 unmarried and childless. Rachel Gow, from Haslingden, Lancashire, struggled to overcome the death of her mother, and desperately wanted a family of her own, an inquest heard. But as her 30th birthday approached, she revealed to family members that she felt she was 'not where she should be in life' and that other members of her family were 'doing better than her.'

The inquest was told that she was worried her boyfriend Anton Tsvarev, 30 would leave her, and suffered a number of insecurities about the relationship. The day she died, Miss Gow sent him a text message wishing him 'all the best for the future' before poisoning herself. 

Mr Tsvarev who had been visiting a friend later found Miss Gow but she died despite attempts by him to revive her. An inquest was told Miss Gow had been an 'outgoing, adventurous and loving' young woman who had attained a 2:1 in History from Lancaster University before working at Royal Bolton Hospital.

In a statement read to the Burnley hearing Miss Gow's brother Stephen Best and her sister Sarah Davidson said: 'Rachel had been a happy child who had lots of friends, she loved to dance and play the violin. She was very close to her sister Sarah. 

'She was very academic and following A levels she studied at Lancaster University. She also made people laugh. She was proud to be at Lancaster and also a dizzy blonde. She had three breakups before her relationship with Anton. Her greatest wish was to settle down and get married.'
