'Lovely' girl, 17, died after collapsing in front of boyfriend in 'tragic' impulsive act

A "bright" teenage girl died after taking an overdose and collapsing during an "impulsive cry for help", an inquest heard. Emily Shore, 17, of Brinnington, Stockport, was described by her heartbroken mum as a "lovely, bubbly girl who enjoyed life and loved her horses".

Stockport Coroners Court heard how the teenager worked for her mum's housekeeping business as a cleaner. Mrs Edwards said on the day of her daughter's death they had an argument - which the coroner described as being "the type of exchange that happens between family members across the country".

In a statement read out in court by Emily's boyfriend George Jones, he described how she contacted him saying: "George, I can't deal with the stress of things and have taken tablets, can I get a taxi to yours? I may be dead by the time I get there, I love you".
