Kate McCann’s Mother Dismisses Reports Kate Is Suicidal

It has been reported that Kate McCann’s mother has dismissed reports in the Portuguese media that her daughter was suicidal.

Susan Healy admitted Kate had been under “immense pressure” over daughter Maddie’s disappearance but has said that “She would never contemplate ending her life, for two reasons. One, she still wants to find Madeleine, and two, for the sake of her other children, Sean and Amelie.”

Susan said that “I don’t know how long she can hold up for. I am afraid, I am very afraid. I don’t know how she is handling all this.”

The 24 Horas magazine interpreted that as: “Susan Healy is afraid that the fact the public doubts Kate’s innocence can lead her to doing something silly.”

yesterday Susan said the publication “twisted” her words after she expressed concern that 39-year-old Kate was under huge pressure after being vilified as false and cold.

Susan, of Allerton, Merseyside, was referring to Kate’s first tearful public breakdown during a TV interview with her and husband Gerry, 39, last week.

She had said her daughter was criticised for “faking” when she cried and yet was labelled “cold” when she did not.

Susan had broken down describing Kate’s ordeal since Maddie vanished from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3.

She said Kate has insomnia, needs counselling and her family dare not leave her alone.

Spokesman for the McCann’s Clarence Mitchell said that “It is beyond offensive to suggest that Kate is suicidal. She is, however, a woman under immense pressure and her mother is perfectly entitled to defend her.”

What do you make of all this?

Do you think Maddie will ever be found?
