I am going to request the full file from GMP, and her GP and obviously the police file should include a statement from Metrolink and CCTV.” Ms Jackson, 33, was identified by her fingerprints, police coroner’s officer David Wood told the court.

Ms Mutch added that toxicology reports had yet to come back from lab analysts. The inquest into Ms Jackson;s death will begin on July 25, 2022.
