Inquest Reveals Missed Interventions in Death of Deaf TikTok Star

Imogen Nunn's family claims her death by suicide was preventable, citing failures by mental health services and police in providing timely care and support.

  • Imogen Nunn, a 25-year-old deaf TikTok influencer, died by ingesting poison on New Year’s Day 2023 after multiple missed opportunities for intervention.
  • An inquest is examining her care from September 2022 onward, including a police welfare check conducted without a sign language interpreter and delayed mental health follow-up.
  • In the weeks leading up to her death, Nunn sought urgent admission to a crisis facility, but her care coordinator failed to meet her, and the admission never occurred.
  • Her parents argue that systemic failures in mental health services and law enforcement contributed to her death, calling for accountability and reform.
  • Canadian chef Kenneth Law is under investigation for allegedly supplying the poison linked to Nunn’s death and other suicides in the UK.
