Report to warn of risk of patients self-harming after singer’s death at West Park Hospital in Darlington
A coroner will write to hospital bosses over his concerns about a ward where a talented singer died after her reference to killing herself was taken as a flippant comment.
Mina Topley-Bird, the 24-year-old daughter of trip-hop pioneer Tricky and the singer Martina Topley-Bird, was found dead on Elm Ward at West Park Hospital, Darlington, in May 2019.
