The inquest into the death of Charlie Millers has started after more than a year of delays

A teenager with a ‘history of severe self-harm’ was told his life was a ‘car crash’ by a psychiatrist involved in his care in a 'stretched' mental health unit, an inquest has heard.

The Manchester Evening News understands a GMP investigation has concluded and that there is insufficient evidence for authorities to seek a prosecution for manslaughter by gross negligence. The inquest into Charlie’s death began today, April 8, at Rochdale Coroner’s Court. The court heard from his mother, Samantha Millers, who admitted the family found it difficult to care for Charlie who was often in mental and physical crisis, and could be prone to lashing out towards himself and his family.

Charlie wanted to pursue medical intervention including starting puberty suppressing hormones. His family and school helped him with a referral to the Gender Identity Service for young people run by Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, where he had been undergoing assessment.
