An inquest has heard how a 53 year-old man from Douglas took his own life after breaking up with his partner.
Rodney Pearson, who lived in Clarence Terrace, was found hanged in his flat on March 20.
Mr Pearson had split up with his girlfriend two days before his death and evidence showed he was worried people would think he hit her, following a disturbance at his flat on March 17.
Recording a suicide verdict, coroner Michael Moyle urged Mr Pearson's family, who had travelled from Northern Ireland for the inquest, to remember him in happier days.
