Coroner’s Concerns
1. Antipsychotic medication (Olanzapine) abruptly ceased and the management plan of daily monitoring was not followed.
2. This created a risk of relapse in terms of psychotic symptoms and associated deterioration in mental health.
3. Risks of relapse when any medication is abruptly ceased. Must be fully monitored; the absence of full assessment and monitoring exposes patients to risk of a serious deterioration in mental health.

Investigation and Inquest
On 20 December 2024 I commenced an investigation into the death of Jason Ricardo White. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest . The conclusion of the inquest was Suicide. The cause of death was: 1a
Circumstances of the Death
Jason Ricardo White developed mental health symptoms in April 2024 which were essentially depression and psychotic episodes. Mr White engaged with both his GP and mental health support services including the Priory hospital in Nottingham, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, and Sheffield City Council to manage his symptoms. He remained fixated on his symptoms being linked to serious medical complaints and appeared at no time to accept that the physical symptomology of which he complained was inextricably linked to his mental health challenges. Mr White received various levels of management which included medication. One of those medications was olanzapine. This was ceased abruptly due to a belief that this was responsible for deranged liver function tests but there was inadequate follow-up thereafter. As it was Mr White died from on the 10th of December 2024 .
