A mental health trust has accepted his failure in the care of the 16-year-old in-post, killing him.

Harry Potter’s fan and music lover Elis Sebastian was found irresponsible in his room at the St. Obin Center Unit in Cololecster in April 2021.

Employees of the Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) were tasked to provide one-to-one care to the employees of the unit run.

The family participated in an first day of interrogation about his death and he is participating in the ongoing Lampard Public inquiry that is investigating more than 2,000 patients deaths.

The Lampard Inquiry team will monitor the inquiry of Ms. Sebastian.

The inquiry heard how Elis loved all animals and was enrolled in an animal care course in college at the time of his death.

Essex Koroner’s interrogation in court heard how Ellis should have been on one-to-one care in the unit of St. Aubin after many self-destructive efforts.

Essex Area Coroner Sonia Hayes said that when she was in isolated areas, it should have been seen.

Mother Victoria Sebstian visited Elis on 17 April that year and gave him a chuddle.

However, when she left, Elis was allowed to enter her bedroom from a communal area without staff members.

The teenager, who lived in the Southeen near Maldon, was found unwanted and died in the hospital two days later.

Mrs. Sebastian told the inquiry that her death pain was “to tolerate too much” and was badly down by the Elease “system.

Apt admitted that the trust’s failures were “due to his death” and his lawyer Praveen Fernando said: “(This) failed to his responsibility, allowing him to enter his bedroom.”

The family also said that the staff did not tell them that Elis had already rushed to the hospital – so she was taken to Colchester Hospital, hoping that she was there.

Michael Louise, a senior paramedic for the east of the England Ambulance Service NHS Trust, was found to be unlikely.

He said that he met with several closed doors and became “extremely disappointed”.

“I felt that no one was taking responsibility there,” he said.

“Each question got with ‘I don’t know’.”

He said: “I was told that the patient was on one-to-one observation, so I remember how it happened by thinking.”

A consultant in Emergency Medicine at Essex and Harts Air Ambulance. Lisa Cunningham said in a statement that “there was air of stress from employees”.
