More evidence requested in inquest over girl who had 'army of friends'

AN INQUEST into the death of a 20-year-old woman who died at at a mental health hospital has been adjourned to allow for more evidence to be obtained.

The jury inquest into Leah Taylors' death began at Manchester Coroners' Court on Monday.

Proceedings adjourned by coroner Zak Golombek on Tuesday.

Leah, from Urmston was admitted to Eleanor Hospital in West Didsbury on May 24 last year and detained under the Mental Health Act.

Less than a month later, in the early hours of June 17, she was found unresponsive in her bedroom, jurors have been told. She was tragically pronounced dead by paramedics. At the time, Leah was being monitored four times an hour by staff, the inquest has heard.

Coroner Zak Golombeck told the jury one of the issues he wanted them to focus on was whether Leah should have been placed on constant one-to-one observations in the period leading up to her death.
