Zoe Margaret Norton Purves, 23, was found dead at Kenepuru Hospital on July 27, 2011, after being admitted. She had been on a 15-minute observational watch after telling people in the days before that she wanted to end her life.

It had been reported that she was breathing an hour before she was found at 10.30am. A nurse then said she was stiff and cold when she was found.

Clinical nurse specialist Roy de Groot admitted that the observation procedures were inconsistent when checking Ms Purves. New procedures required checks for signs of life, such as breathing.

Wonder how she did It.

The article said that she wasn't checked for anything upon admission. Because of what, I'm thinking she used pills.

She was fuckable, like a skanky little raggedy Anne.
