Woman's tragic death 'would have been avoided' if not for mental health unit neglect

The death of a 'happy-go-lucky' woman 'would have been avoided' if better procedures were in place at the mental health unit she was being treated at, a jury has concluded.

Claire Louise Morris, 35, died after an act of self-harm in her home in Wythenshawe where she was receiving 24-hour supervision, an inquest at Manchester Coroner's Court heard.

She was sectioned under the mental health act and had been granted leave from Jigsaw Mental Health facility, in Didsbury, when she was found critically injured in her bedroom by staff on December 15, 2020.
