Why the inquest into Maddy Cusack’s death has been adjourned again

  • The inquest into the death of Sheffield United player Maddy Cusack has been adjourned for a second time until December 2026, almost three years after her passing.
  • Cusack, aged 27, was found unresponsive at her home in September 2023, with the inquest hearing allegations that her coach, Jonathan Morgan, had made comments about her weight and relationship.
  • Her family submitted a written complaint to Sheffield United within a week of her death, detailing issues they claimed arose from her time working under Morgan.
  • Assistant Coroner Sophie Cartwright KC adjourned the inquest to allow for further information to be gathered, including an audit of club records and health records, and to recall key witnesses.
  • The court has heard evidence from Cusack's parents, former teammates, and Morgan, with her mother stating Maddy was "absolutely devastated" by Morgan's appointment due to past experiences at Leicester City.
