A pre-inquest hearing was held on the death of a teenager at an independent school in Buckinghamshire.
Caitlyn Scott-Lee, 16, was found dead at the prestigious Wycombe Abbey School for girls on April 21, where Ms Scott-Lee was a boarding pupil.
A further hearing was held at Beaconsfield Coroner’s Court today (September 14).
Legal discussions took place between Senior Coroner Crispin Butler and legal representatives for Ms Scott-Lee’s family, the school and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Mr Butler said: “Ultimately, we all want the fullest understanding in a situation where we all understand we are putting together a reflection that wasn’t entirely visible to anyone, maybe not even to Caitlyn.
“It will never be a 100 percent picture.”
The 16-year-old’s dad Jonathan Scott-Lee appeared via a video link and mum Tara Scott-Lee was present in the courtroom.
Mr Scott-Lee was represented by lawyer Dr Anton van Dellen, barrister Dominic Kay KC represented Wycombe Abbey School and Neil McLaughlin was present via a video link on behalf of the Oxford Health NHS Trust.
Mr Scott-Lee said: “Nothing any of us do here will bring Caitlyn back. I want to thank the court for all its participation.”
A further pre-inquest review will be held before a final hearing, which is expected to be held in the spring.
