Det Con Benjamin Harris, of Hampshire police, led the investigation into the accusation. <\/p>\n
He previously told the inquest the person making the claim had said Donaldson had told them that she would take her own life “if someone finds out” about the allegation.<\/p>\n
Harris said he had considered the possibility that Donaldson’s reported comments could be a “form of control” against the complainant.<\/p>\n
He said he reported the comments to his senior officers and advised his colleagues, who subsequently arrested Donaldson.<\/p>\n
Harris said that after the interview he graded Donaldson’s risk of self-harm as “standard” and said “she had no indication that she wanted to take her own life”.<\/p>\n
He added the police did not have the powers to detain someone unless they presented an “imminent” danger to themselves.<\/p>\n
A post-mortem examination gave a cause of death of hanging and found Donaldson had non-fatal levels of medication in her blood which were consistent with an overdose, the inquest heard.<\/p>\n
