Jannah had suffered mental health problems for a number of years prior to her tragic death, and her mother had taken her to a GP twice to have her referred for treatment with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (Camhs).

The heartbroken mother of a 12-year-old child who died by suicide has launched a High Court case against the HSE and St John of God community services.

Jannah Shahzad Browne from Tallaght, south Dublin, was found dead in the bedroom of her home by her mother on April 3, 2025.
