Woman, 37, found dead in River Irwell days after going to hospital three times

A woman found drowned in the River Irwell had been seen by Salford Royal Hospital's mental health liaison team three times in the week leading up to her death, an inquest has heard.

Malgorzata Swiatlon went missing from her home in South Radford Street, Kersal, on June 14 last year. Her body was found two days later, near Kersal Wetlands.

Malgorzata, 37, had been to A&E on three occasions between June 8 and June 13 with symptoms of anxiety but was discharged each time, with a number of mental health nurses and practitioners telling Bolton Coroner's Court that she had not indicated any suicidal intent. One of the hospital visits was after she had overdosed by taking several sleeping tablets within a 24 hour period, but the hearing heard that this had been because she 'wanted to sleep' rather than a suicide attempt.
