On 19th December 2025, I commenced an investigation into the death of Ellie Mae Herron, age 27 years. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 1st April 2026. The conclusion of the inquest was: SUICIDE

Ellie Mae Herron had a significant history of mental health issues both in adolescence and adult life and was dependent on alcohol which she habitually abused. She developed alcohol related chronic pancreatitis. Her lifestyle was extremely chaotic and although she had her own premises to live in and the offer of a room at her mother's house, she chose to live in a tent in Pearson Park. She was vulnerable and probably the subject of mental, physical and sexual abuse from associates who live rough and used Pearson Park for drinking alcohol and taking drugs. She was found suspended from a steel gate outside a Sainsbury's store on in Hull at approximately 21:00 hours on 8th December 2025. She was freed and lowered to the ground by the store's security man and resuscitation commenced. This was continued as Advanced Life Support (ALS) by paramedics who arrived on scene at 21:07 hours. Despite continuing ALS on scene, during transit and after arrival at Hull Royal Infirmary, she failed to rally and was declared deceased at 22:02 hours. There were no suspicious circumstances or third-party involvement surrounding her death.
