There were no failings in the mental health care of a student nurse who took her own life, an inquest has found.

Bronwen Morgan, 26, was found unresponsive at a hotel in Pentwyn, Cardiff, in August 2020.

Pontypridd coroner's court heard Ms Morgan had been diagnosed with an emotionally unstable personality disorder.

Her family called the Cardiff University nursing student "bright and beautiful".

In the days leading up to her death, Ms Morgan complained to Cardiff and Vale health board about her package of care.

But coroner Graeme Hughes found her death and the care she was receiving could not be linked.

The court was told Ms Morgan was still engaging with mental health services and had "a significant package of care and there were no failings in the package of care".

The coroner considered whether Ms Morgan's diagnosis of an emotional personality disorder had been correct.

He found, on the weight of evidence, that her diagnosis was correct and that misdiagnosis did not therefore contribute to her death.

The inquest heard that on 27 August, Ms Morgan told her father, Haydn, that she would be going to a friend's house, but she never arrived.

In a text from Ms Morgan to a friend, she said she "did not want to be found".

Her phone was traced to a Premier Inn in Pentwyn, where she was found unresponsive.

The court heard she was at a high risk of accidental death because of self-harm, but that on this occasion she intended to take her own life.

Mr Hughes concluded Ms Morgan's death was suicide and told the court keeping her safe had been a challenge for her family and mental health services.

Addressing her family, Mr Hughes said: "The anguish and distress you have been through cannot be put into any words.

"And while you might not agree with my findings, that does not mean I do not have the utmost sympathy for you and all the family."
