The family of a young Bristol woman have expressed their devastation after she took her own life while she was being looked after at a mental health crisis house. Jess Durdy died aged 27 while she was under the care of Bristol-based charity Missing Link, and a coroner's inquest has found that she died by suicide.
But Jess's family have criticised the charity and NHS mental health services over her death, which they feel was 'preventable'. Jess moved into Link House on October 11, 2020, and five days later she took her own life.
Jess's mum, Moira, expressed her 'profound and endless' grief at their loss following the verdict of suicide from Dr Peter Harrowing at Avon Coroner's Court.
