An inquest into the death of a young woman who died after being found unconscious in a psychiatric hospital in Stockport has been rescheduled for the summer.
Lauren Bridges, 20, had been detained at the Priory's Cheadle Royal Hospital before she was found unconscious in a bathroom on February 24 last year - almost 300 miles from her home in Dorset. She was taken to Wythenshawe Hospital and placed on life-support but that was withdrawn and she tragically died on February 26.
An inquest at South Manchester Coroners’ Court was suddenly abandoned last week, when it became clear that it would not be able to be completed in the allocated two-week slot. Coroner Andrew Bridgman discharged the jury before evidence resumed on the scheduled third day.
