Priory criticised after releasing anorexic teen without care package five days before suicide The Priory released a severely anorexic teenage girl without telling her parents she was at risk of suicide five days before she walked in front of a train.
An inquest into the death of 15-year-old Pippa McManus found the private hospital also failed to organise proper aftercare for the teenager, who took her own life.
A jury at stockport Coroner’s court heard how on the day she died, Pippa had argued with her family over excessive use of the gym and warned she was going to kill herself.
The court found staff at The Priory Hospital Altrincham had developed “no relationship” with people who could have help safeguard the teen once she was released, despite having cared for her for a year. The Daily Telegraph
