Cadi Sue Mair Parry, 19 sadly died
A teenager who tragically passed away after a night out has been remembered as a “friendly and kind person who touched the souls of everyone she met.”
Cadi Sue Mair Parry, 19, sadly died in hospital days after being found unresponsive following a Halloween night out in the Gwynedd city. Cadi’s family described her as a “cherished princess” who had the ability to brighten other people’s spirits.
In a statement read at her inquest, her mum Heidi Parry said Cadi, from Mill Bank Estate, Llandegfan, Menai Bridge, was admired by everyone who knew her.
She also had a “strong appreciation of fashion and beauty”. It was not uncommon for two parcels to arrive for her on a single day, she said, reports North Wales Live.
Her mum revealed that her daughter had been excited about going to Dubai to watch her brother Luke at a boxing event. The inquest heard that Cadi had become upset on the night out after being approached by a girl who claimed she had been with Cadi’s partner the week before.
Ms Parry stated: “Everyone knew their relationship was toxic. I hadn’t realised how deeply it affected Cadi.”
In a separate statement, Darren Evans-Tomlinson revealed how Cadi was dating his son. Cadi had ventured out that evening with his daughter Jessica into Bangor.
His son Evan had been in Liverpool that night, the inquest was told. Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he received a phone call asking him to provide Cadi with transport back to the Evans-Tomlinson family home.
She was in tears and kept saying “Why has he done this to me” and “I’m good to him”. In his witness statement, Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he brought Cadi home and sent a text to his daughter, who was unaware that Cadi had been collected.
Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he and his wife Jenny attempted to console Cadi. She changed into a hoodie and trousers.
Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he left again at 3.30am to pick up his daughter and “did think of taking her (Cadi) with him for fresh air” but since she appeared settled, he left her at his residence whilst he made the trip lasting “eight minutes”.
Subsequently, his wife went upstairs to check on Cadi and discovered she was not responding. Mr Evans-Tomlinson, who had arrived back home, dialled 999 whilst CPR was administered.
Paramedic Matthew Price stated in his evidence that six minutes had elapsed between the emergency call and the ambulance reaching the property at 4.12am on November 1.
Following treatment at the location, Cadi was transported to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, arriving at 4.54am. Dr Emyr Hughes, a consultant anaesthetist, said in his statement Cadi had sustained a significant brain injury.
Her condition worsened on November 4 and “the decision was made to withdraw life support treatment and to focus on comfort,” he said.
He explained the process to Cadi’s family, who expressed their gratitude to the team.
Tragically, Cadi passed away with her death confirmed at 3.41pm on November 4. A post-mortem examination conducted by pathologist Dr Mark Atkinson revealed that Cadi had an alcohol reading equivalent to being below the limit for drink driving.
Sarah Riley, assistant coroner for north west Wales, determined the medical cause of death as hypoxic brain injury due to self-suspension.
She stated: “She had received some bad news relating to her boyfriend. The relationship had been difficult. She was visibly upset.”
The inquest heard evidence of cocaine use, but it appeared not to have been used recently. Ms Riley added: “Her judgement may have been impaired by alcohol and cocaine (but) I don’t have evidence to support her intention to end her life.
“I therefore conclude that the death was an unintended consequence of a deliberate act.”
Concluding the death as misadventure, she added: “She did it to herself but she did not want to die as a result of what she was doing.”
