The heartbroken family of a mental health blogger who died after ingesting a poisonous substance while under the care of mental health services have claimed the facility where she was staying failed her.
Beth Matthews, 26, died on March 21, 2022 after collapsing in front of staff members at The Priory Hospital Cheadle Royal in Manchester where she was a patient after being detained under the Mental Health Act.
Beth, who had thousands of followers online, consumed the poison in front of two supervisors. She suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to Wythenshawe Hospital, but was pronounced dead shortly before 4pm that day.
