Alice Figueiredo , 22 , took her own life in July 2015 and died in July 2018 .

Karis Braithwate , 24 , also died in October 2018 , having been treated by the same NHS trust.

Coroner 's reports reveal a decade of deaths at North East London NHS Foundation Trust .

Rushed assessments and neglect were often cited in reports by coroners.

One patient was marked as alive and well, even though he'd taken his own life the previous day .

It has been 10 years since Alice took her own life inside the walls of Goodmayes Hospital .

Current patients say the issues haven't gone away and are still at risk.

Teresa Whitbread said her 18-year-old granddaughter Chantelle was a high suicide risk.

She said one nurse told her granddaughter: "Don't kill yourself on my shift. Wait until you go home and kill yourself".
