Overview
- The coroner adjourned the inquest on Thursday, July 9, after new material was submitted and set a resumption date of 7 December 2026.
- Assistant coroner Sophie Cartwright ordered a forensic audit of the club’s medical-record system and asked Sheffield United to search its Microsoft Teams and Google Drive folders for documents linked to Cusack.
- The hearing has heard of an 'industrial-scale' loss of sensitive medical data and the club’s former doctor admitted he failed to properly report the breach, prompting the record review.
- Witnesses will be recalled when the inquest resumes, including the former club doctor Dr Subhashis Basu and physiotherapist Francesca Carr, and the coroner may also seek hospital records from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.
- Family testimony has said Cusack became anxious after coach Jonathan Morgan rejoined the club and they filed a written complaint within a week of her death, and the FA’s separate report has been given to the coroner but not published publicly.
