Family Demands Answers After Daughter's Online Poison Death
9 Dec
Summary
- A young woman died after ingesting poison bought online.
- Her family questions why there's no police investigation into the supplier.
- Grace Nevens was a psychology student and mental health charity volunteer.
The family of Grace Nevens, a 22-year-old psychology student, is questioning the lack of a police investigation into the supplier of a poison that led to her death in November 2024. Grace, who also volunteered for the mental health charity Mind, died in hospital after ingesting the substance purchased online.
Despite Grace's involvement with suicide forums, her family finds it difficult to comprehend why authorities have not pursued inquiries into the seller. Her sister described Grace as a "beautiful, kind soul" who, despite her struggles, enriched the lives of others. The family seeks clarity and a review of the decision not to investigate.
The Northumberland coroner acknowledged awareness of international investigations into alleged suppliers of poison to suicide forum users and has contacted the National Crime Agency. A provisional inquest date has been set, with the family continuing to fundraise for Mind in Grace's memory.
