A Forest Bank prisoner who was prescribed a 'combination of drugs' died after 'serious failings' in his care, a jury have found.
Michael McDonagh, 27, was found unresponsive in his cell at HMP Forest Bank in February 2019. Over a nine-day inquest, jurors at Bolton Coroners Court heard how Michael was prescribed a number of drugs that acted in combination to depress his central nervous system - including methadone.
On Friday (September 8), a jury found the medics responsible for the prescription of methadone 'failed to carry out adequate enquiries' into Mr McDonagh's tolerance to opiate medication' before deciding to prescribe the drug.
They also found they then 'failed to monitor him in the days that followed in line with prison and national health guidelines' - a failing they concluded probably contributed to Michael’s death.

During the inquest, the court heard how Mr McDonagh had been prescribed methadone just days before his death, in order to deal with withdrawal symptoms after admitting to taking the opioid, buprenorphine.
The inquest heard how Michael had been prescribed a number of drugs to help manage his mental health, including mirtazapine, pregabalin, and olanzapine.
Consultant forensic psychiatrist Simon Plunkett, who headed the team responsible for Mr McDonagh's psychiatric treatment, said he had been concerned about the combined 'cardiotoxicity' of the drugs, given the risk of Mr McDonagh taking illicit drugs while in custody.
He told the court he and his team were not notified of the decision to prescribe Mr McDonagh methadone, but should have been.
