Inquest touching upon the death of KJ (Article 2 Inquest)

Mark Bradley represented the family of the deceased who took her own life by injecting excess insulin. 
KJ was a type 1 diabetic who required insulin as a form of management. At the time of her death, KJ used a hybrid closed loop system to manage her diabetes which delivered insulin to her automatically. KJ was well known to the mental health system and the local treatment teams were aware that she had visited hospital and been admitted to the ICU as a result of a previous overdose prior to her death.
The cause of death was hypoglycaemia caused by excess insulin.
The Coroner concluded suicide with a concurrent narrative that, at times, KJ’s risk of suicide, as opposed to accidental death was not properly identified and/or managed by NHC Trust mental health services in the community. Additionally, that KJ was wrongly prevented from accessing long term mental health support within LMHT and NH mental health teams responsible for KJ’s overall risk management and care failed to ensure that full and robust multi-professional meetings were held to identify and share risk pertinent information and agree a co-ordinated future plan of care and these factors probably more than minimally, negligibly or trivially contributed to KJ’s death.
