Young mum stopped breathing in mate's bed 'for 30 hours before anyone called 999'

A young mum had stopped breathing in a Prestwich flat for '30 hours' before anyone called 999, an inquest has heard. Kimberley McAssey, from Prestwich, was found dead in bed at her friend Ryan Sheridan's flat on Sherbourne Court.

Rochdale Coroners Court heard today (November 25) the 29-year-old had 'gone cold' at around 6am on February 20, 2021, after the pair had drank alcohol and taken MDMA (ecstasy).

But Mr Sheridan failed to inform anyone about Ms McAssey's death until texting his mum, Emma Heydon, the following morning. After Ms Heydon arrived, she went back outside to buy sandwiches for her son before making the 999 call on her return.

Greater Manchester Police had investigated Ms McAssey's death, and officers are expected to outline how the investigation unfolded at the inquest on Tuesday.
