Hayley's parents and sister have described Hayley as being emotional and upset having had many months of stress and upset following intervention by Social Services and other agencies regarding her children, and as a result of domestic violence from her partner The Court had adjourned for a lunch break at 12.45hrs informing Hayley to be back to continue the hearing at 14.00hrs She left with her family and attended the local Weatherspoons Pub for lunch, where she consumed an egg and bacon sandwich She left and arrived back at the court with her family for the continuation of the hearing at 14.00hrs_ Whilst in court Hayley's father heard her say to him that she had 'tremors in her heart' . The Court case concluded after about half an hour. Hayley was visibly upset with the outcome which was not to her advantage. She left the Court room with her family and walked directly to the female toilets alone. Hayley' s mother suggested to Hayley's sister that she should go and check on her; which she did not do, instead, leaving the deceased to have space and time alone. Her sister stated that her Hayley had been gone for about three minutes, but no longer than five minutes before she_returned, Hayley sat on a chair next to her gQV. days, sister on the upper concourse area of the Court building: The deceased was heard by her sister to say to her that she felt 'dizzy and sick'. Her sister then describes her Hayley as becoming yellow in skin colour and her mouth dropping to one side before her eyes rolled back in her head, her head falling backwards and her body becoming stretched out and rigid. Her eyes and mouth continued to contort until it was realised something was wrong Court staff intervened and provided medical assistance whilst an ambulance was called, which arrived at the court at 14.28hrs_ Haley was conveyed to Hull Royal Infirmary where at 15.38hrs life was pronounced extinct.

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and believe you have the power to take such action.
