\n The inquest heard how Ms Grint’s physical and mental health had declined in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n She had recurring chest infections and spent time in a virtual ward in October.\n<\/p>\n
\n Upon discharge, she experienced stress, had thoughts about life “not being worth living” and became very fixated on food and eating, which affected her appetite.\n<\/p>\n
\n She was referred by a nurse practitioner to NHS Talking Therapies and had also been prescribed periciazine – an antipsychotic medicine used to treat serious mental illnesses, including short-term use to calm severe anxiety – which raised concerns from her family.\n<\/p>\n
\n They asked why she had been given such a low dose of the medication at 1.25mg.\n<\/p>\n
\n In a statement read out on her behalf, they added that her anxiety and mental health worsened upon taking periciazine.\n<\/p>\n

\n A statement from Wensum Valley Medical Practice said that Ms Grint had “specifically requested” for half of a 2.5mg tablet of the medication.\n<\/p>\n
\n They added that Ms Grint was familiar with periciazine and was instructed to discontinue taking it if symptoms occur.\n<\/p>\n
\n The practice also highlighted that Ms Grint had eight clinical appointments in the six weeks prior to her death.\n<\/p>\n
\n After visiting her neighbour’s house on the morning of December 5, her daughter visited her address later that day after she didn’t reply to her text about an appointment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Upon arriving at the property, she found a written note, bank cards, a wedding ring, and a photo of the family – but no sign of Ms Grint, prompting her daughter to call 999.\n<\/p>\n
