A 13-year-old girl who had been struggling with loneliness in lockdown took her own life while on holiday with her family, an inquest has heard. Safia Lardner and her family travelled from Birmingham for a holiday in Exmouth.
On the last day of their Easter break on April 16, 2021, Safia chose not to go swimming at the holiday complex with her family. On their return around an hour to 90 minutes later, she was missing, reports DevonLive.
The family became aware of an air ambulance and emergency services by the holiday park and discovered Safia had fallen from a nearby cliff. Two people who saw what happened had called 999.
