An inquest has found that there was an arguable breach of the state’s duty to protect Dan Kay's life
Missed opportunities in the mental health care of a respected Liverpool journalist - including issues around a cancelled home visit on the day he died - may have contributed to his death, an inquest has concluded. A hearing at Liverpool Coroners' Court today made the significant finding that the Article 2 obligation under the European Convention on Human Rights was engaged on the basis that there was an arguable breach of the state’s duty to protect Dan Kay's life .
On the final day of the inquest today, the court also heard from Ashlie O'Connor, the clinical services manager for Merseycare's Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team, who was questioned about improvements made to the service following an investigation into Dan's death.
