April’s partner Bradley Marshall found her at home after traveling to Scholes in Wigan to pick up their son in April.
The coroner praised Bradley for doing “everything he could in the crucial few seconds after discovering his whereabouts”, the Manchester Evening News reported.
Bradley carried her into the front garden and performed CPR while neighbors also rushed to help, the inquest heard.
An ambulance also attended but sadly Zoe was pronounced dead at the scene.
Zoe’s sister Jessica King paid a moving tribute to her during the inquest.
She said: “We were one person. She lived with me until she got her own house.
“We went on vacation every year. We were one person – we talked every day.
“All she wanted was her own family.
“She wanted to be loved. She wore her heart on her sleeve. She handled a lot very, very well.”
Bradley also paid tribute to Zoe, calling her “kind and caring” adding that she was “the best mother for our son”.

You are not alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It does not discriminate, it touches the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and football players.
It is the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, deadlier than cancer and traffic accidents.
And men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women.
Yet it’s rarely talked about, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage if we don’t all stop and pay attention now.
That’s why The Sun launched the You Are Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all help save lives.
