Mental health services ‘failed’ to manage Sussex TikTok star’s risk in months before she took her own life, inquest hears

  • Imogen Nunn, a 25-year-old deaf TikTok star from Brighton, died by ingesting poison on January 1, 2023.
  • Her death occurred following shortcomings in the mental health services’ assessment and oversight of her suicide risk after a prior attempt in 2022, alongside insufficient safeguarding interventions.
  • Nunn managed a TikTok account with over 780,000 followers, where she highlighted issues related to deafness and mental well-being, offering support to many who faced similar challenges.
  • The coroner highlighted widespread challenges due to the limited availability of BSL interpreters nationwide, which impeded effective communication during the crisis and caused delays in the inquest, describing it as a systemic problem.
  • The inquest’s findings sparked calls for government action to prevent similar failures, with Nunn’s family hoping important lessons will improve care for deaf mental health patients.
