British mental health blogger Beth Matthews dies after ingesting poison she ordered from Russia

Not really sure I'd want to take advice from a mental health blogger who poisons herself.

"A British mental health blogger and accomplished yachtswoman died at a secure psychiatric facility after she ingested a poisonous substance she bought from Russia — telling staff it was protein powder.

Beth Matthews, 26, was not supposed to open her mail at the Priory Cheadle Royal hospital in 2022 but did so after “inconsistencies” in her care, an inquest was told Monday, the Manchester Evening News reported.

Police coroner’s officer Claire Smith said Matthews’ phone revealed an order of the substance from Russia, as well as several visits to online forums discussing suicide methods.

The Cornwall woman — who competed in the Fastnet yacht race when she was just 15 years old — died March 21, 2022, while under the supervision of the psychiatric hospital’s staff.

She was being treated in a secure ward for a personality disorder after being detained under the Mental Health Act for “specialist therapy,” the Times of London reported.

Smith told the inquest at Stockport Coroner’s Court that police determined that Matthews ordered the unidentified substance herself and that there was no criminality involved in her death, the Evening News said."

Very sad. Many people become interested in Mental Health due to being severely depressed themselves.

I bet it was the Covid shotz.

That hospital has had 3 deaths recently. We should not be shifting vulnerable people into for profit hospitals.

She should have immigrated to Canada and they would have helped her on her way out.

No criminal charges resulting from ordering poison on the internet that resulted in death? Surely the hospital was criminally negligent and the Russian agent who sent the poison should have been investigated.

It's more interesting that you can mail order anything you want from Russia. I'd like an AK-47.
