A teenager described as the "life and soul of the party" was able to kill herself in a five minute gap between checks while on suicide watch in hospital - prompting a prevention of future deaths warning.
"Kind and quirky" Sarah-Louise Doyle, 19, was found hanging from a bathroom door by a support worker at Clock View Hospital, Walton, on February 26 this year - prompting concerns about the checks being too predictable and the need for collapsible doors in the ensuite area of rooms.
Sarah-Louise, from Bootle, was described as "always helping everybody out", but had struggled with her mental health. She had been diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD) and anorexia and had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act in November last year.
