Teen accused of killing mum dies just hours after 'life threatening' diagnosis
25.10.2022 - 22:03 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A teenager accused of killing their mother died just hours after doctors discovered they were suffering from a "life-threatening" condition, an inquest was told. Rowan Thompson was an inpatient on the Gardener Unit at Prestwich Hospital when they passed away just days before they were due to appear in court.
The 18-year-old, who identified as non-binary and used the pronouns 'they/them', had suddenly collapsed a week before their death on October 3, 2020. An inquest at Rochdale Coroner’s Court held yesterday heard that doctors initially thought the incident was caused by a change in medication.
However, blood tests later revealed that the teen was suffering from "severe hypokalemia", Manchester Evening News reports. The condition means that there is too low a concentration of potassium in the blood, which can cause fatigue, muscle cramps and hallucinations.
However Rowan's test results were not communicated to those charged with their care on the Gardener Unit. They died the following day.
Had Rowan been admitted to hospital after the blood tests, the inquest heard they would likely have survived. The jury heard that at the time of their death, Rowan, who had been diagnosed with autism, was awaiting trial in connection with their mother's death.
Giving evidence, Rowan’s father Marc Thompson described his child as a "bright, fun individual". He told the inquest that he and Rowan's mother had separated when Rowan was just ten years old, and he had then gone to live with his mother.
Jurors were told that Rowan's mental health began to deteriorate following the death of their uncle. After spending time in a number of mental health hospitals, Rowan moved to live with their father in Barnsley, West Yorkshire.
