Symptoms of perimenopause found to have contributed to the death of Danielle Moore, lead singer of Crazy P
Bronia represented the family of Danielle Moore, musician and lead singer/front-person of Crazy P, who took her own life on 30 August 2024, age 52.
The inquest heard that prior to her death, Danielle began to experience low mood and dissociation after many years of good mental health. The coroner found that the symptoms of perimenopause, coupled with exhaustion, contributed to Danielle’s death.
Following the inquest, Danielle’s family released a statement calling for more awareness around the impact of the perimenopause and menopause on women’s mental health. Low mood, anxiety, mood swings and low self-esteem are recognised as common symptoms on the NHS website, but there is an increasing body of research suggesting that perimenopausal women (especially those with a history of mental health disorders) have a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with depression compared to premenopausal women.
Bronia was instructed by Adele Whitfield of Eaton Smith LLP.
Bronia is appointed as an Assistant Coroner. She regularly represents interested persons in a wide range of inquests including Article 2 jury inquests and complex medical matters, with particular expertise in mental health provision.
