The family of a young woman who died after begging for hospital treatment say they have been 'vindicated' by a coroners conclusion.
In September 2020, 31-year-old, Rachel Shaw, from Hebburn, took her own life after being "tormented" by hallucinations during a psychotic episode.
During an inquest into her death, Newcastle senior Karen Dilks found that an assessment which decided not to offer Rachel a bed at a psychiatric hospital had been "compromised" by a number of "failures", but did not rule that as the direct direct cause of her death.
