Cusack, aged 27, was found unresponsive at her home in September 2023, with the inquest hearing allegations that her coach, Jonathan Morgan, had made comments about her weight and relationship. Her family submitted a written complaint to Sheffield United within a week of her death, detailing issues they claimed arose from her time working under Morgan. Assistant Coroner Sophie Cartwright KC adjourned the inquest to allow for further information to be gathered, including an audit of club records and health records, and to recall key witnesses. The court has heard evidence from Cusack's parents, former teammates, and Morgan, with her mother stating Maddy was "absolutely devastated" by Morgan's appointment due to past experiences at Leicester City.
