Charley Pointon, from Bucknall in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, was found at her family home on February 9. An inquest into her death, which has recorded a verdict of suicide, heard she had gone to school as normal that day and shared 'unconcerning' messages with her mother as she visited a friend's house that evening before coming home.
In a statement released after the coroner's ruling, Charley's parents Lisa and Steve Pointon said their daughter had a 'fun personality with a smile that lit up a room' - and that they would 'never come to terms' with the loss. The inquest heard that Charley was found at 10.30pm, two and a half hours after she had come home from a friend's house without concern.
