Woman found dead after a night out ‘did not want to die’
A teenager who tragically died after a night out in Bangor has been remembered as someone who ‘touched the souls of everyone she met’.
Cadi Sue Mair Parry, 19, died in hospital days after being found unresponsive following a Halloween night out in the Welsh city.
An assistant coroner at an inquest in Caernarfon today concluded her death was a misadventure.
The inquest heard Cadi had become upset on the night out after being approached by a girl who said she had been with Cadi’s boyfriend the week before.
Her mum said: ‘Everyone knew their relationship was toxic. I hadn’t realised how deeply it affected Cadi.’

In another statement, Darren Evans-Tomlinson said that Cadi was his son, Evan’s, girlfriend. Cadi had gone out that night with his daughter Jessica to Bangor.
His son had been in Liverpool that night, the inquest heard. Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he got a call asking him to give Cadi a lift back to her boyfriend’s home.
She was crying and saying, ‘Why has he done this to me?’, and ‘I’m good to him.’
Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he got Cadi home and texted his daughter, who hadn’t known Cadi had been brought back.
Mr Evans-Tomlinson said he and his wife, Jenny, tried to calm Cadi down. She got changed into a hoodie and trousers.
He went out again at 3.30am to collect his daughter and said he thought of taking Cadi with him for fresh air, but she appeared calm when he left for the eight-minute journey.
Later, his wife went upstairs to check on Cadi, and it was found that she was unresponsive. They dialled 999 and began CPR until the ambulance arrived.
Cadi was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, where it was found she had a ‘significant brain injury’ which deteriorated on November 4, when she was taken off life support.
She died later on November 4, with a post-mortem finding that Cadi had an alcohol reading which was the equivalent of being below the limit for drink driving.
Cadi’s family described her as a ‘cherished princess’ who could light up other people’s souls. In a statement to the inquest, her mum, Heidi Parry, said Cadi was admired by everybody she knew.
Sarah Riley, assistant coroner for north west Wales, gave the medical cause of death as hypoxic brain injury due to self-suspension.
She said: ‘She had received some bad news relating to her boyfriend. The relationship had been difficult. She was visibly upset.’
The inquest had heard there was evidence of cocaine use, but that it had not been used recently.
Ms Riley added: ‘Her judgement may have been impaired by alcohol and cocaine (but) I don’t have evidence to support her intention to end her life.
‘I therefore conclude that the death was an unintended consequence of a deliberate act. She did it to herself, but she did not want to die as a result of what she was doing.’
