At the inquest coroner Darren Salter ruled: “Without a clear suicide note and taking into account Virgil’s age, condition and capacity, to form any intent it is not a finding I can make.

“I’m not going to return a conclusion of suicide.

 “The act was deliberate, but the intent was uncertain.”

The coroner added that the death could have been an "escalation of self-harming behaviour."
