An inquest hears that 21-year-old university student Georgina Owen, from Saffron Walden in Essex, died by suicide. Reporting of the inquest says she had followed a plant-based, vegan diet since 2016. The inquest is said to have concluded that she experienced a vitamin B12 deficiency, which it linked to “delusions” or delusional beliefs. Multiple reports describe the deficiency as a contributing factor to her mental state, noting that B12 deficiency can affect neurological function. The accounts also reference that she had become ill following a period on a vegan diet. The reports do not indicate that the inquest found any other specific cause beyond the described medical and mental health factors. As reported, the coroner’s findings focus on the connection between the B12 deficiency and the mental symptoms described during the inquest. The details presented in these accounts are limited to the causes described and the circumstances reported by the outlets covering the inquest.
