A 'charismatic' mental health blogger died after taking a poisonous substance she bought online, an inquest has heard.
Beth Matthews, 26, collapsed in front of hospital staff after telling them it was protein powder. She had been detained under the Mental Health Act and transferred to The Priory's Cheadle Royal psychiatric hospital in Stockport for 'specialist therapy'.
The hearing was told Beth took took the 'poisonous' substance, which the Manchester Evening News is not naming, after she opened a package bought on the internet. Beth 'quickly became unwell' at around 1.15pm on March 21 last year and paramedics were called.
