FA Assessing Information Surrounding Maddy Cusack's Death

Overview

• The Football Association (FA) is assessing information surrounding the death of Sheffield United midfielder Maddy Cusack to see if any of its rules were breached.
• Cusack's family has written to Sheffield United outlining a range of issues they believe stemmed from her relationship with the club’s manager, Jonathan Morgan.
• Sheffield United commissioned a third-party investigation following the complaint, which concluded last year with no evidence found of any wrongdoing by anyone connected to the club.
• The FA has not yet opened a formal investigation, but has begun its own assessment of information related to the case.
• The family’s complaint alleges Cusack’s mental health deteriorated because of the “personal antipathy” she encountered from Morgan.
