A 19-year-old woman found dead at a Wetherspoon pub in Plymouth has been identified as Kelsey O'Connor. An inquest into her death opened today, with the cause of death yet to be determined.
Emergency services were called to The Mannamead in the Mutley area at around 7.30am on March 31 after reports of an unresponsive female. Paramedics attended, but Kelsey was pronounced dead at the scene. A cordon was set up in an alleyway behind the pub.
