Full inquest granted into teenager's death
Family HandoutThe death of a teenager will be considered by a coroner's inquest in front of a jury.
Emily Moore, from Shildon, County Durham, died at Durham's Lanchester Road Hospital shortly after her 18th birthday in February 2020.
A full inquest into the teenager's death was announced on Monday. Her father David Moore said: "All we want is the truth to be told."
Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust said its thoughts remain with Miss Moore's loved ones and it would "fully co-operate" with the coroner.
A hearing previously heard that Miss Moore was being treated at West Lane Hospital in Middlesbrough, also run by the trust.
The mental health unit at the hospital was described as "chaotic and unsafe" in a 2023 report.
Last year, the trust was cleared of failing to provide safe care and treatment to Miss Moore after it was taken to court by the Care Quality Commission.
The inquest will probably not take place until next year, the family's legal team said.
