Teen overdosed after ban on visiting mother, inquest hears

A homeless teenage girl who died from an overdose of anti-depressants was banned from visiting her mother the night before her death, an inquest heard today.

Emma Canning Curran, 16, was left biting her hands in distress after a series of domestic rows and the final straw came when the order barring her arrived at her temporary home in Lurgan, Co Armagh, in January 2006.
