Schoolgirl, 13, 'did not intend to end her own life', coroner rules

A 13-year-old schoolgirl found dead at her home "did not intend to end her own life", an inquest has heard.

Faith Hindle, from Salford, killed herself a day after telling an "overburned" mental health nurse that she feared she was unable to keep herself safe. She was pronounced dead at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital after being found hanged at her family's home in Cadishead on the evening of December 8, 2018.

At an inquest at Bolton Coroner's Court today, a coroner ruled that Faith, a pupil at Irlam and Cadishead Sports College, died as a result of "misadventure". The hearing was told that in the months prior to her death, Faith's family, school and GP practice had tried to help her access mental health support after she began self-harming.
