A 25-year-old charity worker tragically died by suicide just hours after reportedly being turned away from hospital care despite expressing suicidal thoughts, according to reports. The incident has raised concerns about access to mental health services in the UK.
According to reports, Danielle Tuohy had waited 10 hours at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford on 22 January 2025, before leaving after being told she did not qualify for admission. The following day, a home treatment team from the Kent and Medway Mental Health Trust (KMMHT) spent roughly 80 minutes with her at her home to assess her risk.
