The mom of three, 41, had been co-hosting the 3-7 p.m. BBC Radio Shropshire show with Adam Green when she abruptly went off the air shortly before 5 p.m. on Aug. 7.She was found dead at home by her stepfather just hours after leaving a radio station part way through her afternoon slot telling colleagues she was “upset.”An inquest heard how she told BBC colleagues she needed “a break” before she returned to her home in Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury is a town 150 miles northwest of London.Her stepfather, Lee Holyoake, 64, discovered Archer’s lifeless body at around 8:15 p.m. after he went to her home to fix her stove along with her 73-year-old mom, Beryl.He climbed in through an open window after getting no answer when he tried knocking on the door and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.Tragically, nothing could be done to save the popular broadcaster and she was pronounced dead at 8:21 p.m.Shropshire Coroners Court heard how the divorced Archer had made two previous attempts to take her life and had suffered from depression.In the days leading up to her death, she had retweeted posts about inner demons and mental health issues.She also shared links to the Samaritans’ hotline number — a suicide prevention lifeline in the UK — and wrote about “hurtful gossip” saying: “Gossip is rarely kind, positive or encouraging.
