An Army investigation into the death of L/Cpl Bernard Mongan described it as a "tragic event".

Over the course of the inquest one witness described how L/Cpl Mongan had been "shouted, screamed and swore at" and "forced" to do extra runs in his lunch break without being given time to eat, while another said he was "100% victimised".

Two other soldiers however suggested he had been "mismanaged" as opposed to being bullied, while Capt Ben Atkin, RSM for L/Cpl Mongan's battalion said physical exercise was "not allowed to be used in the British Army as a punishment" and "if I had seen it, I would have stopped it".

Among those she and the CMJ have helped are L/Cpl Joel Robinson and Cpl Anne-Marie Ellement, both of whom complained of bullying before taking their own lives.

While L/Cpl Mongan never made an official complaint about bullying Ms Norton believed his chain of command "should have been capable of identifying that and dealing with it".
