Crazy P star Danielle Moore took her own life, an inquest has ruled. The front woman of the electronic band died under "sudden and tragic circumstances" in August 2024. At the time, her bandmates said they were "devastated" as they confirmed the news of her death. It was ruled that Danielle, who was 52 at the time of her death, died instantly after being struck by a train near Kings Heath railway station in Birmingham on August 30 last year.
An inquest heard that Danielle had been battling exhaustion due to her increased work load, with her husband, James Ensell telling the court that she also had issues with sleeping due to perimenopause symptoms. But as her success with the band, who formed in 1995 continued to grow, Danielle began to struggle.
Mr Ensell described her as a "remarkable woman" with an infectious personality who was also "self deprecating and humble who had an awareness of her own vulnerability". Three weeks before she died, he said, his wife had asked him whether he thought she had a personality disorder. Mr Ensell said that she had performed her last gig at a festival on August 25 in Lincolnshire and that she had been "unusually self critical about her performance.".
He last saw her at 9am on August 30 and was later contacted by the police to say his wife had been found near railway tracks A post mortem examination revealed she died as a result of multiple injuries. The inquest in Birmingham also heard from a hypnotherapist who said that on the day before her death the singer had contacted him to discuss whether she was suffering from a border line personality disorder.
