Regina (LF) v HM Senior Coroner for Inner South London [2015] EWHC 2990 (Admin); [2015] WLR (D) 442

‘A mentally incapacitated adult who died while in intensive care at a hospital was not, on the facts, in “state detention” at the time of her death for the purposes of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, with the consequence that the coroner was entitled to hold an inquest without a jury.’
