Devastated teen who never got over father's death hangs herself in the same spot in the woods a decade later
An inquest has heard that a 15-year-old girl, who was devastated by the death of her father, was found hanging in the exact same spot where he killed himself about a decade prior. Mia Bell of Alfreton, Derbyshire, was found hanging in the woodlands close to her home by a group of children. The teen was described as being an "outgoing and happy child" until her father Steven committed suicide in 2008 when she was only 6-years-old. Mia was never able to get over the loss of her father and she went into the woods regularly to be close to him.
The Daily Mail reported that on the day she took her own life, Mia was helping out in the garden and her relatives there did not suspect that anything was wrong when she told them that she was going to the private spot before property developers started building houses on it. The Chesterfield Coroner's Court heard that a group of children had approached a dogwalker nearby and had told him that they had "seen a demon in the woods".
