Teenage hanging tragedy was a 'cry for help'

A teenage girl found hanged at her home had not meant to kill herself, an inquest heard.

Faye Loughrey, 15, was discovered by her devastated parents suspended from banisters by a scarf.

She had been enduring bullying and relationship problems.

But Derby’s assistant deputy coroner Michael Bird said on Saturday: “There is no evidence of any suicidal planning, no notes. Faye knew her parents would return that evening.

"I believe she intended to be found alive by her parents who arrived home when they said they would.

"Perhaps she believed this would bring to the surface all the troubles she had been experiencing.

"It was probably a cry for help and she became unconscious much more quickly than she intended to."
