Coroner Highlights Suicide Risks of Antidepressants After Thomas Kingston's Death

A coroner’s report raises concerns about inadequate warnings for SSRI medications following the 2024 suicide of Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband.

Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, died by suicide in February 2024 after reportedly experiencing adverse effects from prescribed antidepressants.
A Gloucestershire coroner's report questions current guidelines for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and their potential to increase suicide risk in some patients.
Kingston had been prescribed multiple medications, including sertraline and citalopram, which he stopped taking after experiencing severe side effects.
Lady Gabriella Windsor and medical experts have called for greater awareness of the risks associated with SSRIs and clearer warnings for both patients and doctors.
The coroner’s findings have been sent to regulatory bodies, including NICE and the MHRA, which have until March 3, 2025, to respond with proposed actions.
