'Suicidal' patient tied ligature on hospital ward

'Suicidal' patient tied ligature on hospital ward A mental health patient died after tying a ligature around her neck in a hospital bedroom, an inquest has heard.

Kayley MacLeod, 21, was found not breathing and unresponsive at St Mary's Hospital in Kettering in October 2016.

A jury at Northampton County Hall was told she had self-harmed there and wrote a note days before which read "I'm the most suicidal I've ever been".

The four-day inquest will look at her care plan, risk assessment and how often she was observed in hospital. BBC Northamptonshire
