Overview

  • The inquest opened at Manchester Coroner’s Court on July 22 and was immediately adjourned by Area Coroner Paul Appleton pending submission of further evidence.
  • Appleton ordered Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust to provide a witness statement detailing any contact, care or treatment offered to O’Hare.
  • He also requested a full file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police along with post-mortem and toxicology results.
  • No date has been set for the resumed hearing and police say her June 30 death is not being treated as suspicious.
  • O’Hare, a 49-year-old interior designer, fell from her flat at Victoria House during a reported £2.7 million Spitalfields property dispute and co-founded the women’s charity Elle for Elle.
