They had a whole future planned.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Even though James was a mixed martial arts fighter, he was more like a librarian as a person. He\u2019s soft and gentle.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Following the inquest Mrs Rowland, from Waterlooville, Hampshire, paid tribute to her daughter\u2019s desire to travel the world.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018Abi was a gregarious, fun loving girl with a zest for life. She could be in a moment and take you with her. She was wanderlust, thoughtful and generous.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018She had a wide network of friends and kept in close contact with them. We had a close relationship and she always told me everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I can only come to the conclusion that on that night she had too much to drink, was upset and only meant to make James aware of how upset she was. I truly believe that Abi never meant the outcome to be fatal.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Coroner Samantha Marsh recorded a verdict of misadventure.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018Abi had a happy and bright future with James. The plan was to have four boys which may have changed after the first one or two.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018She had a healthy lifestyle and was physically and mentally fit and healthy.As far as you\u2019re aware, she and James\u2019s relationship was a loving one.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In terms of Abi\u2019s history, she had never done anything like this before and there were no concerns of mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Unfortunately it seems like she had a very bright future with everything going for her and James.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post1\"><\/div>\n\n<p>She added: \u2018I do not believe she deliberately intended the consequence of what she did. I am satisfied there is no third party involvement but I think it went wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018James did not follow her back from the party like she thought he would have done. He did not come home for three hours, maybe he gave her time to cool off.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He did not come home unfortunately and for that reason I am satisfied Abi\u2019s death was due to misadventure.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am very very sorry for your loss. It is a complete waste of what seemed like a very good life and future ahead for Abi and James together, and even for you, as future grandparents of four boys running around you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The coroner also thanked The Red Lipstick Foundation, a charity offering support to families affected by suicide, for their support to Abi\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the inquest, Mr and Mrs Rowland said: \u2018We will always be saddened by the death of our beautiful daughter Abi.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is no one to blame for this moment of folly but there is a lesson to be learned.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When young people travel to these hot, exciting places with cheap and unregulated alcohol they need to look out for<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A British woman unintentionally took her own life in order to frighten her boyfriend, an inquest has heard.
