A FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION report into the circumstances surrounding former Sheffield United player Maddy Cusack’s death is complete and will be shared with a coroner by the end of this week.
The pre-inquest review hearing into Cusack’s death took place at Chesterfield Coroners’ Court today, with ex-Blades boss Jonathan Morgan in attendance along with the club’s current chief executive Stephen Bettis.
Morgan was the subject of a written complaint by the Cusack family to United within a week of Maddy’s death on September 20 2023. The complaint outlined a range of issues she had been facing which they said all stemmed from her relationship with Morgan.
Sheffield United’s own investigation, which concluded in December 2023, found no evidence of wrongdoing.
