UPDATED MAR 21, 2019

A serious case review concluded that the death of Amber Peat, 13, "could not have been predicted" after she was found hanged in a bush after a family argument, despite a coroner claiming there had been 11 missed chances to save the embattled teenager's life.

Three days after Amber went missing from her home following a heated argument with her mother over household chores, her body was found in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. According to the review, there was a lack of planning in the care she received, forcing her to believe "she was to blame for many of the difficulties within the family," Daily Mail reports.
