Skye Read was found in her bedroom at home in Kirkley Run, Lowestoft by her mother Nicky, who had just returned home from work on Saturday, November 29.

At Suffolk Coroners Court on Friday, Darren Stewart OBE said the teenager did not have a history of mental health issues before concluding she had taken her own life.

He said: "Her death was confirmed, toxicology showed nothing of significance.

"She had no history of mental health issues and no thoughts of harming herself, but she had made comments to her mother the previous evening about the futility of life.

"Skye Read died from actions initiated by herself."

The young girl had been described by family and friends as "far too beautiful for this world".

Touching tributes were paid to the Year 10 student at East Point Academy in Kirkley after she died.

Poignant tributes flowed in remembering a "little angel" who is "forever young."

A GoFundMe fundraising page was set up in December to raise money and support the family following Skye's death.

The community rallied as 375 donations were pledged, raising £7,170 for the appeal.

Her family hailed her as a "shining star" ahead of her funeral at Waveney Memorial Park and Crematorium in Ellough, near Beccles on January 6.

The inquest had been opened by coroner Nigel Parsley at Suffolk Coroner's Court in Ipswich in February.
