Staff and parents at Epsom College on Monday spoke of their “deep shock” at the death of the headteacher, her daughter and husband at their home in the school grounds as police investigated the triple tragedy.
The bodies of Emma Pattison, her seven-year-old daughter Lettie and husband George were discovered by officers after being called by ambulance staff in the early hours of Sunday. The circumstances of their deaths were still being investigated but police said they were confident there was no “third-party involvement” and that the tragedy was an “isolated incident”.
