Dylan Scanlon was found dead at Claire Scanlon's home on Elm Road in Limeside, Oldham, on 31 December 2021. Toxicological tests found levels of the antidepressant mirtazapine, which had been prescribed to Scanlon, at nine times the fatal dose for an adult in Dylan's system.Speaking after the hearing, senior crown prosecutor Nicola Carter said Scanlon's role as a parent "was to love and protect her son from harm, but she took the ultimate step to take... Dylan away from her ex-partner".
