INVESTIGATION and INQUEST 

On 21 January 2013 I commenced an investigation into the death of Marion Joanne 
Turner. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 23 June 2014. The 
conclusion of the inquest was that Ms Turner killed herself whilst suffering from a 
diagnosed mental illness. The cause of death was 1a) Hanging.

CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEATH 

Marion Joanne Turner, a 40 year old lady was found hanging at her home address on 
18 January 2013. She had a history of mental illness, alcoholism, self-harm and 
relationship difficulties. She had had inpatient treatment at times and at the time of her 
death she was under the care of the community mental health team.

CORONER’S CONCERNS 

During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In 
my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken. In the 
circumstances, it is my statutory duty to report to you. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows.  –  

(1)  Evidence was given that the day before Ms Turner’s death, her solicitor, as a result 
of concerns about her mental health, had telephoned into the mental health trust 
office and left a message for Ms Turner’s CPN. This message remained on a slip of 
paper, unread, in a pigeon hole until sometime the next day.

ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN 

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you and your 
organisation have the power to take such action.
