Her brother Jonathan is campaigning for a change in the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danielle was found dead after suffering from a lack of oxygen when she was left alone. The coroner concluded that: \u2018Danielle\u2019s death was the unintended outcome of an act of self-harm at a time of distress, in the context of a volatile and abusive relationship.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan has identified a visible gap in UK law after Danielle\u2019s death. He said: \u201cThe gap could be covered by a change of law where person to person owe each other a duty of care\u201d, rather than it only applying to professionals in positions of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Jonathan pointed to a gap in the law, saying: \u201cYou can just walk away and leave someone to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands UK law does not require an individual to carry out a duty of care to another person, and they have no obligation to call for help. The existing duty of care law only protects children, where it is a criminal offence for a person aged 16 or over to wilfully neglect or abandon a child under their responsibility in any way likely to cause suffering (The Children and Young Persons Act 1933).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Danielle\u2019s Law\u2019 will make it a crime \u2018to abandon someone in immediate danger without seeking help.\u2019 Jonathan said: \u201cI think people would be scared that there\u2019d be a law where anyone can get in trouble for just walking by.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change in law is to target individuals who have a complete disregard of care to others, \u201cnot innocent bystanders\u201d. A similar law has been successfully implemented in other countries, including France, Germany, Canada, and parts of the US having a \u2018duty to rescue\u2019 or \u2018duty to report\u2019 law. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legislative proposal outlines that a person will commit this offence if they:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;Know someone is in immediate risk of death or serious injury<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are able to call for help without endangering themselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;And deliberately fail to call emergency services or seek help<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed law would provide clearer guidance for coroners and police, by creating a legal option for when someone fails to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan emphasised that the law would \u201ccover gross negligence manslaughter\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cIf there was accountability it would help prevent people from doing this and knowing that there would be repercussions from it, preventing other people from losing their life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coroner ruled \u2018on the balance of probabilities that Danielle took her own life; however, third party involvement could not be excluded and will always remain a possibility\u2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2026\/01\/IMG_0622.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2026\/01\/IMG_0622.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2026\/01\/IMG_0622-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2026\/01\/IMG_0622-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan describing his sister:<strong> <\/strong>\u201cShe\u2019d light up the room straight away she was only little, but she had a massive personality.
