Actor Paul Bhattacharjee was declared bankrupt shortly before he was found dead at the bottom of cliffs, an inquest has heard.
The 53-year-old, who had appeared in the James Bond film Casino Royale and EastEnders, was a "proud" man who would not have wanted the bankruptcy becoming public knowledge, his partner said.
In a statement read out in court, Emma McKie added: "I do believe that Paul would take his own life. He had a darkness inside him that was irreparable."
Mr Bhattacharjee, who lived in Elephant and Castle, was last seen leaving rehearsals in London on July 10, the inquest at Eastbourne Magistrates' Court was told.
Following his disappearance, Ms McKie opened some letters in his flat and discovered he had been declared bankrupt the day before, on July 9.
She added in her statement: "He was a proud and protective man and he couldn't have handled the bankruptcy becoming public knowledge.
"He would not have wanted to let me down or hurt me or his friends. The bankruptcy was the final straw after a life of major highs and lows."
The body of the actor, whose full name was Gautam Paul Bhattacharjee, was spotted near cliffs in Seaford, East Sussex, on July 12.
Mr Bhattacharjee rehearsing at the Courtyard Theatre in Strafford Upon Avon There was no evidence of drugs and only a small blood alcohol reading of 42mg per 100ml, according to a report by toxicologist Andrew Smith, of the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
A post-mortem examination found that his cause of death was from multiple injuries.
Ms McKie last saw her partner on July 10 when he had complained about having a bad stomach.
She called him at 7pm that night to say she was on her way home.
He texted her later to say he was very late and told her to have dinner without him.
A final text message received by Ms McKie at 9.16pm that night included the words: "I'm sorry."
A member of the public reported seeing what they thought was a body at cliffs below Splash Point in Seaford on the evening of July 12, and it was later recovered.
Initial inquiries to try to find out who the man was proved fruitless.
Then, on July 17, a colleague of coroner's officer Karen Brown saw an article online about Mr Bhattacharjee's disappearance.
Sussex Police contacted the Metropolitan Police and the body was confirmed as that of Mr Bhattacharjee later that day.
East Sussex coroner Alan Craze later received an anonymous letter disclosing that his death was deliberate and "linking it wholly and entirely to his bankruptcy".
Mr Bhattacharjee appeared in several episodes of EastEnders as Masood's brother Inzamam between 2008 and 2010. Other television credits included Waking the Dead, Spooks and The Bill.
Recording a verdict of suicide, Mr Craze said: "There isn't scope at all in this case and therefore the conclusion of this inquest will be that Gautam Paul Bhattacharjee took his own life whilst the balance of his mind was disturbed."
