Gateshead dad's heartache as beautiful daughter takes her own life aged just 23

A devastated dad said he will never get over losing his daughter who took her own life at a North East mental health hospital.

Terri Sullivan, from Gateshead, took her own life at Roseberry Park Hospital in Middlesbrough just days after Christmas in 2019. A jury inquest was held this week to establish the circumstances around the 23-year-old's tragic early death, TeessideLive reports.

The inquest found the hospital staff had tried to give Terri the best quality of life possible. However, it was also ruled that certain policies of Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, the trust that runs hospital, were not fully followed.
