Leonard Farruku was found unresponsive in the en-suite shower of his room on board the accommodation vessel at Portland Port, Dorset, on December 12 2023. The inquest heard that Mr Farruku was previously accommodated at the Esplanade Hotel in Paignton, Devon, and began to show aggressive behaviour in July 2023. She said these were forwarded on to the Home Office but were not placed on its Atlas immigration case-working system. He also declined offers of referrals to mental health services and failed to attend when a first response team was sent to the hotel to help him.
