Tahlia then revealed that while in A&E the medics called her name in the department at around 10am but she had either fallen asleep or had gone to the toilet at the time. Due to her not responding, the hospital staff called her parents to say she had left and wrongly declared her as a “missing” person.

“I never intended that, I know people would have thought so many different things, bad and extreme things, and felt helpless without knowledge or being able to do anything…But everyone has done more than they can imagine by looking out for me, being there for me, showing me I have more help than I thought and more love than I thought.
