However, staff were not aware of this.
"While Ms Mellor had some risk factors for suicide and self-harm, we are satisfied that in the days leading to her death, there was nothing to indicate that she was at increased risk," added the report. "Staff were not aware that she had argued with her partner, and we do not consider that they could have foreseen her death."
