Schoolgirl, 12, found hanged in her bedroom, after arguing with her mother over her untidy bedroom

A 12-year-old girl was found hanged in her bedroom after she had argued with her mother about being untidy, an inquest has heard.

Katie Webb was found unconscious in her bedroom on April 24, this year.

Her devastated father Daniel, 34, told an inquest he had a row with Katie two days before she died but put her mood 'down to hormones'.

Her mother Anne, 32, also told the hearing she had 'argued' with Katie on the day of her death about her messy bedroom at the family home in Evesham, Worcestershire.

Speaking at the hearing at Stourport Coroner’s Court on Monday, Mr Webb said: 'It was mine and Katie’s very first spat. I put it down to hormones.'

Two days later he heard a loud scream from his wife Anne who had discovered their daughter hanged in her bedroom.

Mr Webb rushed to the room where he tried to give his daughter CPR before paramedics arrived.

He told the inquest: 'I went straight to where the screaming was coming from to see Anne holding Katie and screaming "help me, help me, help me".

'Then this really nice man pulled me out of the way and said "You’ve done enough, let someone who knows what they’re doing try". I just broke down.'

Katie was airlifted to Birmingham Children’s Hospital but could not be saved.

The inquest heard Worcestershire County Council’s social services division had placed Katie under a Child Protection Plan in 2010 following concerns around neglect.
