London: A British Coroner's court today concluded that the collapse of some of Caparo Group firms had led to leading industrialist Swaraj Paul's son Angad Paul committing suicide by jumping from his home in central London.
The 45-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after being discovered outside the property on November 8 last year.
"He was a very bright dynamic man, happily married with two children and a comfortable existence, he took his work responsibilities very seriously. He was clearly worried about the business. He had felt that it was his fault," coroner Shirley Radcliffe said at the inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court in London.
The businessman, philanthropist and film producer had been treated by consultant psychiatric specialists and was "self-admitted" to a hospital on October 4, 2015, after his wife became concerned for his welfare but was released on October 16, 'Evening Standard' reported.
Doctors said he had not expressed suicidal intentions to them because his family was too important to him.
Mr Paul's wife Michelle told the inquest that he had felt responsible for the loss of jobs for his employees and had sold his four sports cars, saying: "I don't deserve nice things if so many workers have got to lose their job."
The court was told he had not left a suicide note and police found that his death was "non-suspicious".
There was no alcohol in the blood and no other drugs. The cause of death was severe head injuries.
