Overview
- The Suffolk inquest, which closed Wednesday, ruled that Rebecca McLellan, 24, took her own life.
- Assistant coroner Daniel Sharpstone accepted expert evidence that any NSFT acts or omissions did not, on the balance of probabilities, contribute more than minimally.
- Evidence reviewed at the hearing showed she had no care coordinator for about two months and, on August 7, 2023, a clinic told her to leave and warned police or security could be called.
- Her family said the trust profoundly failed her and cited delayed safety planning, while NSFT apologized and said it has introduced a reception triage protocol and suicide‑prevention training.
- ITV reported the coroner will decide in the coming weeks whether to issue a prevention of future deaths report, a step used to press for changes when risks of further deaths are identified.
