IN the living room of the family home, a photo of Kimberley McAssey reminds her loved ones of happier times. They are preparing for their fourth Christmas without her.
They had hoped that an inquest into the 29-year-old's death could have provided them with the answers they have been looking for since February 2021. Tragically, the actions of a man who claimed to be her friend have left Kimberley's family with enduring torment.
"How can you give a child answers when you haven't got them yourself?" Kimberley's sister Rea, 30, told the M.E.N. "There's no closure at all, and no dignity for Kim in her death."
A coroner concluded last week that the cause of Kimberley's death on the morning of February 20, 2021, was 'unascertained' due to difficulties with the post-mortem.
Kimberley had gone to see Ryan Sheridan at his flat on Sherbourne Court, in Prestwich.
The court accounts from Sheridan say the pair had a drink before taking a quantity of MDMA (ecstasy) and moving to the bedroom for sexual intercourse.
Coroner Joanne Kearsley concluded that Kimberley was 'virtually unresponsive' by the end of that activity.
