An inspirational Manchester student and bar worker who took his own life was haunted by the death of his teenage sister just months earlier, an inquest heard. Dyllon Shaun Graham Milburn, 21, was found dead at his home in south Manchester in October 2019. Just 10 months beforehand, in December 2018, his sister Quinn Beadle, 17, had taken her own life near the family home in County Durham. Dyllon became a leading force in a charity set up in her name, which helped families also affected by suicide bereavement.
A university student whose teenage sister hanged herself took his own life less than a year later because he was haunted by claims a paramedic could have saved her life, an inquest heard.
Dyllon Milburn, 21, was already devastated over the death of Quinn Beadle, 17, but then learned of an investigation into claims the ambulanceman called to the scene had pronounced her dead too quickly without making any attempt to revive her.
As enquiries continued into the tragedy, Dyllon, from Shildon, Co Durham, who had taken a year off college became tormented by what his family called a wicked cover up.
