Inquest Opens Into Death of Kelsey O'Connor, 19, at Plymouth Wetherspoon

Police told the coroner they are not treating the case as criminal.

Overview

  • Area Coroner Deborah Archer opened the inquest Wednesday, where Devon and Cornwall Police said there were no suspicious circumstances.
  • The teenager was identified as Kelsey O'Connor, 19, with local reports stating she was from Walsall in the West Midlands.
  • Emergency crews were called to The Mannamead on March 31 at about 7:30 a.m., and paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
  • Officers set a cordon in the alley behind the pub, and the venue closed that day while police carried out enquiries for the coroner.
