Morgan was a young mum who was just 19 when she died. She met her partner Dominic when she changed schools at the beginning of Year 10. They became friends at school before starting a relationship. A couple years later they discovered Morgan was pregnant and their son was born in mid 2021.

“She was a very motivated, a very, very motivated mother. That’s completely indisputable. She always gave 100% to me and our son. She was a very, very good partner as well, especially for someone her age. Very mature”.

Morgan breast fed her son for a long time and was always keen to cook for him.

Tanya, Morgan’s mum, describes how her own mother had made her tandoori chicken, and she in turn would make it for Morgan, that was their family dish of the month, a firm favourite. Morgan also liked a Victoria Sponge cake.

Morgan’s favourite colour was baby pink, all her favourite clothes were that colour.

As a teenager Morgan was a member of the Army Cadets, she went camping and took part in community projects. She enjoyed interior design, art and writing.

Morgan waited three years for an autism assessment, receiving her diagnosis shortly after her 19^th birthday.

In the months leading up to Morgan’s death, her mental health deteriorated. In the six weeks before she died, she had a number of admissions to A&E following suicide attempts, and was admitted to Meadowfield Hospital on three occasions.

During her second admission to the hospital at the end of February 2023, Morgan was arrested after she was found having ligatured. She remained in police custody for 24 hours after which she was again detained under the Mental Health Act and transferred back to A&E.

Morgan was eventually taken back to Meadowfield Hospital as a voluntary patient on 3 March. Six days later staff found Morgan ligatured in her bedroom. She was pronounced dead soon after.
