Maddy Cusack's coach called her a 'psycho' before her death, inquest hears
The coroner will hear evidence from club and Football Association investigations into the 27-year-old’s death and the family’s complaint about her coach.
- On Monday, the inquest into the death of 27-year-old Sheffield United player Maddy Cusack began at Chesterfield Town Hall, examining family claims that her relationship with former manager Jonathan Morgan contributed to her September 2023 death.
- David Cusack testified his daughter became "unwell" by July 2023, telling the inquest she was "dismayed" when Morgan was appointed Sheffield United manager, describing her transition to full-time work as a "shambles".
- During a September 6 consultation, Maddy told Dr. Mobeen Bhatti in Ilkeston she was "feeling anxious" and "couldn't sleep", yet she declined a sick note fearing team exclusion and stigmatization.
- While Sheffield United's internal investigation concluded in December 2023 with no findings of wrongdoing, the Football Association launched a separate inquiry in January 2024 to determine if further action is required.
- Proceedings at Chesterfield Coroner's Court continue, with the Cusack family seeking "accountability and that comes with truth", remaining "steadfastly committed and determined to attain justice for Maddy".
