A CORONER has suspended an inquest into the death of a ‘funny and beautiful’ 22-year-old woman.

Tallie Brazier died following a collision involving a green Hyundai Veloster and a grey Vauxhall Astra on the A5117 at Elton.

Miss Brazier, of Oswestry in Shropshire, was the front-seat passenger in a vehicle that was situated at a set of traffic lights at around 1.50pm on Monday, April 15, a coroner’s court heard.

Another vehicle collided with the stationary car.

Upon arriving at the scene, police found a 50-year-old woman in one vehicle, and a 23-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman in a second vehicle.

All three had sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash and were taken to hospital.

CPR was commenced at the scene and continued while Miss Brazier was en-route to Whiston Hospital, but she sadly died there at 5.50pm.

An inquest was opened at Cheshire Coroners Court on May 1 into the death of Miss Brazier due to it being an ‘unnatural cause of death’.

In a recent hearing at the same coroner’s court in Warrington on Wednesday, November 20, an appeal was made for the inquest to be suspended.

Senior coroner Jacqueline Devonish agreed to the suspension, stating: “This is to be suspended for the reason that criminal charges are being investigated.

“This will be suspended until February 20, 2025, pending criminal charges.”

Cheshire Police confirmed in a recent update that “enquiries are still ongoing” into the fatal crash.

Following her death, Miss Brazier’s family paid tribute to her, stating: “We are completely devastated at the loss of our wonderful daughter Tallie.

“She was bright, kind, funny and beautiful with a whole life of adventures in front of her.

“Everyone that met her loved her.

“For us, her parents, her sister, her boyfriend, family and friends our lives will always be less shiny from now on. We will love her and miss her forever.”
