Good morning. Today’s news comes from our local news provider InYourArea.

Jessica Adams-Lovett, 43, was found at her home in East London on July 25, 2021 by her husband but paramedics were unable to save her. A toxicologist report, read at an pre-inquest review in the East London Coroner’s Court on Friday, revealed the cause of death to be a type of poison. Jessica’s husband also addressed the court, revealing her had managed to access her emails following her death. In his preparation for the full inquest in June, Coroner Graeme Irvine recognised the family would have questions for the North East London Foundational Trust and noted representatives would be asked to deliver evidence in person. Jessica’s husband also revealed new evidence had emerged in his email search after finding contact with “two to three counsellors” in the weeks before her death – South Woodford mum found dead by husband after she ‘took poison’ at her home (MyLondon ~ News – East London News – Mental health)
