A devastated family have spoken of their unbearable heartbreak after a father died just hours after his daughter's funeral. Katie Davenport, 23, passed away after an 'altercation' with her work colleagues at a nightclub called Hey Amigos in Southport last year, the MEN reports.
On Wednesday an inquest heard how a helpless door supervisor could only watch as the carer plunged off the venue's fire escape balcony at around 2am on September 4, 2022. The 'beautiful' woman sustained traumatic brain injuries as a result of the incident and died 13 days later in hospital with her boyfriend Niall by her side.
Then her heartbroken father tragically passed away just hours after her funeral service on October 14 after he suffered an epileptic fit. Senior coroner Julie Goulding concluded the 23-year-old who 'struggled with her mental health' died as a result of significant brain injuries with 'insufficient evidence she wanted to take her own life'.
