Woman, 23, died after she was found unconscious in hospital toilet

A Liverpool woman died after being found unconscious in the toilet of a psychiatric hospital.

Stephanie Mullineux was found in a locked cubicle at Leigh Infirmary, after being admitted to the psychiatric ward following a history of self harm and attempted suicide. She died the next day after her life support machine was switched off on February 8, 2016.

An inquest into her 23-year-old's death has resumed, after a healthcare assistant avoided jail for perverting the course of justice. In 2019, Deborah Howard found Stephanie and previously stated that a nurse had treated Ms Mullineux at once.
