Man hanged himself after a blazing row with his girlfriend over whether they fancied Danny Dyer and Kim Kardashian

 A man hanged himself after a blazing row with his girlfriend after she admitted finding Danny Dyer attractive.

Dale Daniel Challoner, 31, was found dead in a community garden after he stormed out of his home in Powys, Mid Wales, following the fight.

An inquest into his death on Friday heard that he had argued with his partner Danielle Plumpton when she commented that the Eastenders star was good looking.

 

She pointed out he had previously made similar comments about reality TV star Kim Kardashian, and could get a bit jealous.

Miss Plumpton told the inquest, at Aberdare, Powys, that the argument had continued via text message after he walked out.

Mr Challoner asked if he could return home and Miss Plumpton, who did not want the argument continue told him that he should stay at his mother's home.

She said she had known Mr Challoner for about four years and he had lived with her for one month, after leaving his mother's home after she caught him using gas.

She added that Mr Challoner, who worked as a slaughterman, was on anti-depressants and liked to drink.

Miss Plumpton said he had been sectioned previously when a former relationship broke down.

James David Austin, an electrics engineer, discovered Mr Challoner's body near Mochdre, Conwy, as he walked to work at about 7am.

In a written statement, he said he initially thought it was a doll but as he got closer he realised it was a man's body and called the emergency services.

Pathologist Dr Abdul Salam said a cause of death of hanging and toxicology tests showed evidence of some alcohol and anti-depressant medication in Mr Challoner's body.

Powys coroner Andrew Barkley concluded that Mr Challoner's death was suicide.
