A teenager managed to take her own life in a five-minute gap between checks while on suicide watch in hospital. "Kind and quirky" Sarah-Louise Doyle, 19, was found hanging from a bathroom door by a support worker on February 26 this year - prompting concerns about the checks being too predictable.
Sarah-Louise, from Bootle, Liverpool, was described as "life and soul of the party", 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, the Liverpool ECHO reports.
Despite her troubles, Sarah-Louise had been in her third year of a health and social care course at Hugh Baird College and dreamed of working with disabled children, according to her mum Claire Buchanan.
