A Team GB footballer has been remembered by her family as a "wonderful mumma" following an inquest into her tragic death.

Gemma Wiseman, who helped Great Britain to bronze in the 2016 World Deaf Football Championships, took her own life just before Christmas last year.

She was 33.

Following an inquest into her death, her wife Laura Wiseman described her family's hurt at the tragedy.

She said: "As Gemma's wife, I am at a complete loss of losing my partner and our daughter's mumma.

"She was the world to us and we will never comprehend that day in December.

"We will miss her outgoing nature and kindred spirit."

Norfolk Coroner's Court heard Mrs Wiseman, who worked as a teaching assistant, had died on December 16, having been found unresponsive in a wooded area near her home in Rackheath.

The court heard how some of her closest friends had gone out to search for her after she had sent concerning messages about her wellbeing.

However by the time they discovered her, she was unresponsive, and despite the efforts of friends and paramedics to perform CPR, she died at the scene.

During the hearing, which lasted an hour, evidence was given that Mrs Wiseman had a tragic history of anxiety stemming back to the childhood trauma of losing her father at the age of five.

It heard that in 2017 she had given a media interview during which she was asked a range of personal questions that had brought these issues to the surface.

She went on to receive counselling and medication but this trauma would continue to trouble her.

A family statement read to the court added: "Gemma was a loving wife and a wonderful mumma who would always put others first."

Yvonne Blake, area coroner for Norfolk, concluded her death had been suicide.

She said: "She seemed to have a very good bunch of friends who tried very hard to help her.

"She obviously made a very big impact on their lives."
