The seven-year-old daughter of Epsom College headteacher Emma Pattison died after being shot in the head, in inquest has been told. Lettie Pattison died alongside her mother and father in the tragedy on February 5.
Police have said they believe Emma's husband, George, shot them both before shooting himself. An inquest opened into his death earlier this week when it was said he had died from a "shotgun wound to the head".
Now a separate hearing has been told of the cause of death of the mother and daughter. Emma Pattison, 45, died of shock, haemorrhage and shotgun wounds to the chest and abdomen, while Lettie died of a shotgun wound to the head, an inquest opening at Surrey Coroner’s Court has heard.
