An inquest hears that footballer Maddy Cusack, 27, was found unconscious by her father at their family home in Horsley, Derbyshire, on 20 September 2023, and she died the same day. Reporting from multiple outlets says the inquest includes evidence relating to comments made about Cusack by her coach.
The London Evening Standard and the Evening Standard both state that the inquest hears the coach referred to Cusack using the term “psycho.” The Belfast Telegraph also reports the same claim, indicating it forms a key part of the evidence considered at the inquest.
The available summaries do not set out further details about the circumstances leading to Cusack’s death, such as medical findings, timelines beyond the day she was found, or any formal conclusions about cause of death. The coverage instead focuses on the inquest evidence concerning the coach’s alleged language toward Cusack.
