An autistic man grieving over the death of his grandmother took his own life after his benefits were cut, an inquest heard.

Christopher Fisher, of Headcorn, Kent was found dead in nearby woodland on August 17 this year, eight days after he went missing.

An inquest into his death heard he struggled to cope with change but had been hit by the death of his grandmother, a cut in his disability benefit and other problems.

Autistic Christopher Fisher took his own life as he struggled to cope with a series of changes in his life, including having his disability benefit cut and the death of his grandmother

A coroner in Maidstone was told 31-year-old Mr Fisher heard he left the family home on August 9 last year to take his dog Molly for a walk, and seemed fairly happy.

He was not seen again and his Vauxhall Corsa was later found at the woodland where he died by police investigating his disappearance.

A statement by Christopher's mother Margaret said: 'Over the last 18 months, it had been tough for Chris.

'There had been a change in the way his disability benefit was received and it had been reduced.'

His mother said he had suffered headaches in the days before his death, but otherwise seemed 'his usual self;

His other continued: 'His support worker changed and his car started making funny noises too, which bothered him.

'It was a change of routine and all these things disrupted his life. It took him a while to adapt because of his autism.

'He had not been feeling well, suffering with migraines for a few days before he disappeared. He had been taking tablets but apart from the headaches, he was his usual self.'

The inquest heard police could not find his dog after they discovered his body and his car nearby. 

Assistant coroner Katrina Hepburn recorded a verdict of suicide and said: 'Chris was alone, save for his dog being with him when he did the act.

'There was nobody else involved... he did intend to take his own life.

'A number of factors in his life were causing him stress. He did not cope well with changes to his routine.'

The coroner added: 'There had been a number of changes at time of his death - bereavement, financial concerns, change in support worker, illness with his dog and an issue with his car making noise.

'For this gentleman, these would have caused him some concern. Given these stress factors, he did intend to take his own life.

'It was not a cry for help - nobody was in the vicinity. He chose that location and I am satisfied that he intended to take his own life.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
