4 days agoNews TalkComments Off on Teacher, 31, ‘took own life after using unlicensed hair loss drug’ – as girlfriend issues heartbreaking plea
A TEACHER took his own life after using an unlicensed hair loss drug he bought online, an inquest heard.
Sam Applegarth, 31, had no history of mental health problems before the tragedy.

Ben LackHis girlfriend Anya Guy has warned of the risks[/caption]
The PE teacher had recently started a course of dutasteride, which is not licensed for hair loss in the UK.
An inquest was told there are no known “suicidal ideation” side effects for the drug as there has been a failure to report such feelings by men taking the drug.
Sam’s heartbroken girlfriend Anya Guy has now urged anybody having similar thoughts after taking dutasteride to inform medics.
She said: “People feeling by side effects with dutasteride should report them, especially if they are feeling suicidal.
“People need to be aware that they may be having suicidal ideation because of the drug.”
Wakefield Coroner’s Court heard Sam was concerned about losing his hair since 2015.
He had been visiting Dr Bessam Farjo at his clinic in Manchester but was never prescribed any drugs.
However, Sam did take minoxidil, which is easily available over the counter at Boots, and finasteride without any side effects.
In 2017, he had a successful hair transplant at the Farjo Hair Institute and underwent platelet-rich plasma treatment to rejuvenate his hair.
Sam also had his head tattooed to give the appearance of hair, which Dr Farjo said he seemed “happy” with.
Sam last saw Dr Farjo in July 2024 and confirmed he was still taking minoxidil and finasteride tablets.
The medic told the court he suggested Sam undergo cognitive therapy to ease his anxiety about going bald.
Dr Farjo added: “He was a young man with an exaggerated view about how big an issue his hair loss was,” said the doctor.
“I had no concerns he was having any side effects from the drugs.”
The court was told Sam moved to Dubai to teach in August, last year, with Anya planning to join him at a later date.
She said he had “struggled at times with his self esteem” due to his perceived hair loss but his condition was not a bad as he believed.
The inquest heard Sam had no history of mental illness or self harm he was a “bright and happy individual”.
Sam was discovered dead in his apartment by a work colleague on September 19 – just five weeks after arriving in Dubai.
He left no suicide note and a post-mortem found no alcohol or drugs in his system, the inquest heard.
Dr Farjo said that “suicidal ideation” is one recognised side effect of taking finasteride.
You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
He told the hearing he was unaware Sam had begun taking dutasteride, which he described as “more powerful” than finasteride.
The doctor said the known side effects of both drugs are the same, apart from finasteride has been reported by the BNF to cause suicidal ideation.
Dr Farjo acknowledged there may be an underreporting of suicidal ideation by patients following a course of dutasteride.
He added: “Dutasteride is not licensed for hair loss in this country and it is not commonly prescribed.
“The reason the BNF suicide ideation is not mentioned for dutasteride is because it has not been reported, whereas it has been reported for finasteride.”
Coroner Oliver Longstaff ruled a verdict of suicide.

Doug SeeburgNicoline Artursson has spoken out after the physical abuse she suffered from ex James Argent[/caption]
Nicoline posted this statement on social mediaRexShe said Arg’s ex Lydia Bright interfered in their relationship[/caption]
The Swedish beauty queen was injured after being pushed down steps outside the home they shared in Spain.
Now, Nicoline has claimed former Towie star Lydia Bright was an unwelcome, interfering presence during their year together.
She said: “I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. ‘Three’s a crowd’, they say.
“I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO.
“I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue.”
Nicoline continued: “After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries.
“He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months.
Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video?Emailexclusive@the-sun.co.ukand you could even get PAID
“But he didn’t. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history.”
Argent and Lydia’s love story started off screen nearly two decades ago when they were teens and their drama-filled romance made legendary TV on theITVBeshow – gripping viewers with its constant twists and turns.
Domestic abuse - how to get help
DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence.
Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:
Emotional abuse – Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse – gaslighting – being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to
Threats and intimidation – Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you
Physical abuse – This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
Sexual abuse – Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.
If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:
Men who are being abused can call Respect Men’s Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or ManKindon0182 3334 244
Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring Galopon0800 999 5428
If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999
Remember, you are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.
Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.
They split in 2012, and Argent was accused of calling her a “sl*t” in text messages after learning she’d slept with someone else following their separation.
Despite this, they have maintained a close friendship and Lydia views Argent as an uncle to her daughter, Loretta, five.
She has stuck by her ex and close friend following his arrest and insists he’s not a violent man.
A friend who knows both Lydia and Arg very well tells The Sun: “When it comes to what happened with Arg and Nicoline, Lydia would never condone violence and has made that very clear to James, but she doesn’t think that he is a violent man and she knows he deeply regrets the events of that night.
“She has stuck by him, even though she doesn’t agree with his actions – just as his other mates like Mark Wright have.”
Lydia was also there for Argent when his weight ballooned to nearly 30 stone amid drug and food addiction.

Nicoline Artursson's statement in full
It’s now been a month. I still can’t believe it.
My fractures on my body have finally healed but I’m wounded inside. I’ve been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one – and it almost destroyed me.
What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. Behind the pictures, promises and the plans for a life together – the beautiful days – changed into something into sadness with emotional manipulation and eventually physical harm.
I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined.
I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past.
Yes I posted an Instagram story with a simple yes or no question about if your ex should be a part of your present relationship. I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. ‘Three’s a crowd’, they say.
I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue.
The ex and her family put us through so much misery and false accusations, I won’t go into details. They had no reason whatsoever to do what they did to us, but for some reason they wouldn’t let go and let us enjoy our love.
Everybody knows that real friends support you and want to see you happy.
So I posted a story on Instagram.
After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries.
He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months.
But he didn’t. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history.
I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house.
My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured.
Thanks to incredible neighbours who heard and saw what happened and acted, I got help. They called police, brought me to safety and ensured the incident was taken seriously.
A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past – including exes.
Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much – it’s all about being strong and growing together.
Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real.
I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are.
There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse – no matter how much love preceded it.
To those who questioned me for staying as long as I did: I stayed because I believed in love. I believed he and we could grow, could heal, could choose peace. But love doesn’t survive in chaos. And it cannot survive where violence lives.
To every woman reading this: if you’ve ever questioned your worth, your safety or your sanity in a relationship – this is your sign. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. And you are not alone.
To the men: real strength is protection. Real love is safe. Be the kind of man who lifts women up – not one who breaks them down, neither by violence or silence.
To the future: never say never. I will get the little family I’ve always dreamed of and have my dream wedding to symbolise and celebrate true love in front of my dear family and friends.
I’m healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise and I will use my voice – not for vengeance but for truth. For every woman who’s been silenced by someone who said ‘I love you’ and then proved otherwise.
This is not just my story. It’s a reminder: abuse – whether emotional, psychological or physical – has no place in love.
4 days agoNews TalkComments Off on Meghan & Harry keep cashing in by piggybacking off the royal family – it’s disgusting, expert says
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry keep raking in money by “piggybacking off” the royal family, slammed a royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and quit the UK.

APMeghan corrected Mindy Kaling on her name in the docuseries[/caption]
The couple have since been embroiled in a bitter feud with the Firm.
Harry, alongside his wife, has continued to drag his family name through the mud, from their 2021 Orpah interview to his 2023 memoir Spare.
And, the latest blow to their fractured relationship came when the Duke of Sussex dropped some extraordinary bombshells in a BBC interview last month.
He filmed a rare sit-down chat after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.
But since turning their backs on the Royal Family, the Sussexes have also battled several stumbling blocks while trying to carve out their new identities.
Harry meanwhile has been busy working on his Polo documentary on Netflix, and as ever his Invictus Games.
But despite trying to “reinvent themselves”, the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche, experts blasted previously.
Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, esteemed former royal correspondent Charles Rae accused the Duchess of still using the Royal Family for profit.
“I’ve got no objections to Meghan and Harry making money,” he told esteemed royal correspondent Bronte Coy.
“None whatsoever. However they want to operate now is fine.
“It’s their royal connections that really irritate me. And they’re piggybacking off of that a great deal.

“But I think Meghan is the one who’s driving everything.
“And I think she will eventually come a cropper with all this.
“I mean, she says, ‘I don’t want to annoy the public’. Well, why not?
“She’s annoyed everybody else. You know, I mean, you know, she’s. she’s a very annoying person in my view.”
But fellow expert Sarah Hewson, added: “I think it is in everyone’s interest if she is able to make a success of this and make money off the back of this, because we know they’ve got a very expensive lifestyle, not least the security costs.
“And Prince Harry just having lost that court of appeal case, it is in everyone’s interest, the Royal Family included, if they are able to be self-sufficient, if they’re able to build a life, Prince Harry can do his philanthropy.
“Meghan can launch the business. I mean, I think that suits everybody.”
The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.
The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.
The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.
Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.
The move further increased rumours of a fallout.
Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.
Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.
In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.
Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.
The mum-of-two then dropped her second podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder, which has already dropped off the Spotify Top 100 list.
The Duchess has also been promoting her ShopMy page, on which she advertised a controversial “ethical” handbag, where she shares links to her wardrobe and pockets a commission.
Harry meanwhile has been busy working on his Polo documentary on Netflix, and as ever his Invictus Games.
But despite trying to “reinvent themselves”, the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche, according to experts.
