An Eastbourne man hung himself after a family row, an inquest heard.
Luke Pettitt, 21, was found hanged from a tree in Hampden Park, Eastbourne, on November 14.
An inquest yesterday revealed he had been drunk during an argument with his mother, Theresa Brown, at their home in Chelworth Road, before storming out and smashing windows of the house.
The Eastbourne inquest heard Mr Pettitt, a builder, had a history of behavioural problems since childhood and suffered from depression.
Mrs Brown said her son had been drinking throughout the day and evening when the row broke out.
The court heard Dora Phelps, from Somerset, had been walking her dogs in the park on November 14 when she saw what she thought was a man standing under a tree.
East Sussex coroner Alan Craze recorded a verdict of suicide.
