The death of a Leicestershire man who hanged himself at a mental health unit was the result of a "catalogue of failures", an inquest heard.
Michael Coltman, 48, died at Glenfield Hospital on 14 January after hanging himself with a sheet.
Leicester coroner Catherine Mason said bedding was originally taken away after a first suicide attempt but returned by staff who had not been briefed.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust accepted mistakes had been made.
The case has been referred to the Care Quality Commission for investigation.
