A Stockport man had previously turned down pleas for him to 'talk to somebody' before he ended his own life, an inquest has heard.
Adam James Kennedy, a labourer from Shaw Heath, was pronounced dead at Cale Green Park on Thursday, October 29 last year.
An inquest at South Manchester Coroners Court on Thursday (May 20) heard that the 30-year-old had left a friend's home the night before and gave no signal he intended to end his own life.
Claire Smith, police coroners officer at Greater Manchester Police, told the court that Mr Kennedy left his friend's property between 10pm and 11pm on October 28.
She said Mr Kennedy had informed his friend he was returning home, and police believe that was the last time he was seen prior to his death.
The court heard his friend had no idea Mr Kennedy intended to take his life, and that no notes were found following his death.
A report from Dr David Dawson, Mr Kennedy's GP at Heaton Moor Medical Group, confirmed that he had 'relatively little contact with the surgery' and was not on medication.
Reading evidence given by Mr Kennedy's mother to GMP, coroner Alison Mutch said she had previously 'had concerns' about her son and 'wanted him to try to talk to somebody' - but Mr Kennedy 'did not feel comfortable' doing that.
Ms Smith added: "He had tried that approach previously and he felt that it just did not sit well. He didn't want to continue with it."
However, both Ms Mutch and Ms Smith confirmed that Mr Kennedy's mother did not have concerns that he intended to end his own life.
Ms Smith told the court that police received a call from a member of the public on the morning of October 29 about a body in Cale Green Park.
Paramedics were already at the park by the time police arrived at around 7.30am, and Mr Kennedy was pronounced dead at the scene.
GMP officers felt there were no suspicious circumstances or third party involvement surrounding the death, Ms Smith confirmed.
Offering her condolences to Mr Kennedy's mother after losing her son in 'such a very sad way', Ms Mutch said: "To lose a child - no matter the fact he was an adult - is terribly difficult."
Battling her tears, Mr Kennedy's mother replied: "I miss him so much."
In making a ruling on his death, Ms Mutch said she 'thought a lot' about whether Mr Kennedy had intended to take his own life given the lack of notes or medical history, but concluded that 'overall circumstances' showed his death was suicide.
She added: "There does not seem to have been anything that he said to anyone that would have caused them to expect him to take the actions that he did."
