👉 Mia Lucas, 12, took her own life after being sectioned due to a misdiagnosis of her underlying brain disorder, autoimmune encephalitis. 👉 Medical staff failed to spot the disorder, which was only diagnosed partway through the inquest. 👉 The jury concluded that the failure to carry out a lumbar puncture at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre before her transfer to the Becton Centre had 'possibly contributed' to her death. 👉 Mia's family has expressed devastation and anger at the failings of the medical staff, saying they were 'badly let down'.
