Bernard Mongan's family say inquest 'enormous disappointment'
A coroner has said he was unable to determine whether a British soldier found dead after being missing for three weeks had intended to take his own life.L/Cpl Bernard Mongan was found in his barracks at Catterick Garrison on 23 January 2020 after making several complaints of bullying by his superior father-of-three's cause of death was "unascertained" after a post-mortem examination, which revealed he could have been dead for up to three weeks before he was Mongan's wife said she believed he took his own life having been "badly let down by the Army" and the family described the verdict as "an enormous disappointment". Recording an open conclusion, senior coroner for North Yorkshire Jon Heath said it was "regrettable" he was unable to "go further" than the post-mortem concluded that "on occasion Bernie was subject to treatment, and spoken to, by some of his chain of command in a manner that caused him distress".However, despite numerous previous suicide attempts, Mr Heath said there was "insufficient evidence for me to conclude it was likely [Mr Mongan] took the drugs he was known to have taken, and the level of alcohol, with the express intention of ending his own life".The Army said the delay in discovering Mr Mongan's body was "unacceptable and profoundly regrettable".The Royal Signals soldier, who had served in Iraq, had been spending his Christmas leave in his room at Catterick Barracks, but was due to start an attachment with the Army's 77 Brigade in Berkshire on 7 January 2020. However, neither camp noticed that he was missing. Listen to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Horse racing tips: Tuesday, June 10
It's a low-key day's racing but our in-house tipster continues to be in form and has selections from the meetings at Catterick and Wolverhampton. Ron Wood's selections: Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 5.50 Wolverhampton – Class 6 Handicap (1m ½f) In a weak race, CLASSIC CAUSE (NAP) still has some potential. This Charlie Hills-trained runner kept on well for a close third in an all-weather event over 7f at Southwell on his seasonal reappearance and handicap debut, and that form has worked out. He failed to build on that at Nottingham next time, but the return to the all-weather is in his favour and this looks a good opportunity for him. 7.10 Catterick – Class 5 Fillies' Handicap (7f) Stall 10 may be a bit wider than is ideal for CROWN'S LADY but she is in form and still looks like she has more to give. A sharper test than she faced when third at Carlisle last time looks to be in her favour and she also drops back down in grade from Class 4. Selection: Crown's Lady @ 4/1 with William Hill Today's racing (Flat unless stated) Salisbury 2.00-5.05 Wolverhampton 2.45-5.50 Sligo (NH) 5.28-8.28 Catterick 5.10-8.40 Fontwell (NH) 6.20-8.50 Ron Wood 2025 horse racing P/L (Up to and including Sunday June 8) Star ratings explained ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - confident selection ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - strong fancy ⭐⭐⭐ - fair claims ⭐⭐ - tentative choice ⭐ - minimum confidence If you want to find more odds and offers, take a look at our list of the best betting sites and free bets Check out our list of the best casino bonuses in the UK

Horse racing tips: ‘This trip suits and Oisin Murphy gets the ride' – Templegate's Tuesday NAP
TEMPLEGATE takes on Tuesday's action looking for winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. COMPETIZIONE (3.30 Salisbury, nap) Champion jockey Oisin Murphy takes over from Rab Havlin on this three-year-old who has improved with every run for the Gosdens. He missed his juvenile season and badly needed his debut at Newmarket in April before going down in a tight finish at Donny. He hit the crossbar at Chelmsford 19 days ago and looks ready to win. This trip suits and he's progressive. VIBRANT PEARL (5.40 Catterick, nb) Has been second on both starts, including in a photo last time out. She enjoyed the drop back to five furlongs there but stayed further on debut and that stamina could be an asset in the holding conditions. She doesn't need much more to get off the mark. JACK SPARROW GREY (6.50 Fontwell, treble) Has won all three starts at this track by growing margins. He sees out this trip strongly and his rider's 5lb claim can help defy the handicapper again. LAUDABLE (6.10 Catterick, Lucky 15) Was rusty on return before taking a big step forward when second at Ayr three weeks ago. He has winning form at this tricky track and has dropped to a handy weight. Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.
