The daughter of Massive Attack collaborator Tricky was found hanged after fearing her band had played badly and people were laughing at her, an inquest heard today. Mina Topley-Bird was found hanged at West Park Hospital, Darlington, in May 2019 after performing with the Guildford music collective 404, in Newcastle days earlier. An inquest into her death today heard Ms Topley-Bird was a 'talented musician', but was worried the gig had been poorly received. 'Mazy Mina, my daughter, had two names - some people called her Mazy, some people called her Mina. The coroner said the main topics of the inquest would be how Ms Topley-Bird came to be assessed at Darlington Memorial Hospital and her admission to West Park Hospital.
