'Beautiful and kind' young mum found dead at home after telling medic about overdose

The family of a young mum who tragically died at home after taking an overdose have paid tribute to her, and say she was 'let down' by mental health services.

Dari-Anne Sawyer, 23, sadly passed away at her Teesside home in on April 12, 2021. An inquest heard how she told a clinician that day that she had taken an overdose, and would go to hospital once she had arranged childcare. Her devastated loved ones say they can't understand why they weren't contacted, and she was then left alone with her two young daughters.

Paying tribute, Luke Baker, father of her two children, said: "She was a truly lovely person - kind, beautiful. She loved her kids so much," reports TeessideLive.
