Deaf TikTok star Imogen Nunn died in Brighton on January 1, 2023, after consuming poison she bought online. An inquest heard that Nunn had informed an NHS support worker about the purchase a month prior to her death. Her mother believes Nunn was "failed" by NHS services, citing a deterioration in her mental health and a lack of engagement with mental health professionals in the months leading up to her death, despite expressing suicidal ideation.
