Inquest Reveals Systemic Failures in Care of Deaf TikTok Star Imogen Nunn

The 25-year-old mental health advocate's death has raised concerns about inadequate mental health services, barriers for deaf individuals, and unregulated access to lethal substances.

Imogen Nunn, a deaf TikTok creator with over 780,000 followers, died on January 1, 2023, after ingesting a poisonous substance she purchased online.
The inquest highlighted multiple missed opportunities by mental health services to intervene, including a failed crisis admission request just days before her death.
Sussex Police conducted a welfare check on Nunn in November 2022 but did so without a British Sign Language interpreter, limiting effective communication.
Her death is linked to an ongoing investigation into Kenneth Law, a Canadian accused of supplying lethal chemicals used in suicides worldwide.
Nunn's family has criticized mental health services for their inaction despite her repeated pleas for help, calling her death preventable with proper care.
