Inquest finds state may have failed to protect Hillsborough campaigner Dan Kay before his death

An inquest has found that the state may have failed to protect Dan Kay, a former journalist and Hillsborough campaigner, leading to his death. The coroner noted missed opportunities in his mental health care, including a cancelled home visit on the day he died. Kay, who struggled with mental health issues, took his own life on May 7, 2023, after previous suicide attempts. The inquest revealed that changes in his care plan were not properly documented, which may have contributed to his death. Following the inquest, improvements to mental health services were discussed, including better documentation and increased oversight. Kay's family expressed disappointment over the mental health team's handling of his care, emphasizing the need for changes in memory of Dan.
