Dad's heartache after finding 'happy and loving' daughter, 11, dead in her bedroom

A father told of his devastation after finding his 11-year-old daughter dead in her bedroom.

Michael Barber hasn't been able to live in the house since discovering Roxy-Mae Barber lifeless in bed. He told her inquest on Friday Roxy, "a happy, cheeky and cared-for girl", showed no signs of distress or concern in the days which led to her death on May 4 last year.
