Steve Dymond from Portsmouth was found dead days after appearing on the Jeremy Kyle Show, where he expressed feeling that life was not worth living.

Steve Dymond from Portsmouth was found dead days after going on the Jeremy Kyle Show.

An inquiry into the death of a man who overdosed following his appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show has revealed that he expressed feelings of hopelessness towards life.

Steve Dymond, hailing from Portsmouth, is believed to have died by suicide just days after participating in the ITV program in May 2019.

The 63-year-old underwent a lie detector test on the show after facing allegations of infidelity by his former partner, Jane Callaghan, of Gosport.

Coroner Jason Pegg stated that a comprehensive inquest will commence on September 3rd.

During a previous inquest, it was disclosed that Mr. Dymond passed away due to an overdose and heart issues at his residence in Portsmouth. Claire Overman represented Mr. Dymond’s brother, Leslie Dymond, and his son, Carl Woolley, during the preliminary hearing in Winchester.

According to Ms. Overman, Leslie Dymond conveyed that his brother had informed him about the audience reacting negatively, with “booing and hissing.” Allegedly, Mr. Kyle had been accused by Mr. Dymond of labeling him a “traitor and a failure.” However, video evidence contradicted this claim, showing that Mr. Kyle had actually referred to him as a “serial liar.”

Ms. Overman further stated that Mr. Dymond had confided in his brother about being overwhelmed with stress and feeling completely shattered after the show. He purportedly mentioned feeling on the verge of collapse and expressed thoughts of self-harm, even contemplating jumping out of a taxi on his way home.

In addition, Mr. Dymond reportedly felt as though he had been psychologically manipulated, describing himself as “worthless” and unable to continue living. The coroner, Mr. Pegg, noted that Leslie Dymond had been deemed medically unfit to attend the full inquest. Despite this, Mr. Pegg indicated that he would consider Leslie Dymond’s written statement as evidence, subject to a reliability assessment.

Neil Sheldon KC, representing Mr. Kyle, countered that the account presented was both misleading and inaccurate, founded primarily on hearsay, and stressed that the show’s footage would provide a more accurate portrayal of events.

The coroner specified that the scope of the inquest would encompass not only Mr. Dymond’s participation in the ITV program but also his personal relationships. He emphasized, “It’s pertinent to acknowledge that there were other aspects of Mr. Dymond’s life at the time of his passing.”

Furthermore, the coroner highlighted that Mr. Dymond’s interactions with his former partner Jane Callaghan and others in his social circle would be under scrutiny.

Rachel Spearing, counsel to the inquest, clarified that the coroner had determined the investigation would not delve into the broader practices of reality television but would focus on the circumstances surrounding Mr. Dymond’s death.

Additionally, Mr. Dymond’s history of mental health challenges would be subject to examination.

Following Mr. Dymond’s death, the Jeremy Kyle show, which had a 14-year run, was swiftly discontinued.

I recently saw an episode of the Jeremy Kyle show where a guest expressed feeling like life was not worth living. It really got me thinking about how difficult life can be at times. We all face tough situations and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to reach out for support. Whether it’s talking to a friend, seeking professional help, or even just taking a moment for self-care, it’s crucial to find ways to cope during these challenging times. Remember, you are not alone and there are people who care about you. If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Let’s all strive to support each other and create a community where everyone feels valued and heard.
