Deputy speaker’s daughter found hung to death, inquest hears.
The daughter of Commons deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle was found hanged in her bedroom, an inquest has heard.
Natalie Lewis-Hoyle, 28, died at her home in Heybridge, in the UK county of Essex, on 15 December.
At an inquest in Chelmsford, coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said Miss Lewis-Hoyle was found by her mother.
A post-mortem examination gave the medical cause of death as compression of the neck consistent with hanging, she said.
Ms Lewis-Hoyle’s father, who is MP for Chorley in Lancashire, said on Twitter last week that he was “truly devastated” by the death of his daughter.
Police did not release any more details about Miss Lewis-Hoyle’s death, the family has put out a public appeal for information.
Mr Hoyle said: “Our family will never be the same without our loving granddaughter, sister & aunty.
Thank you for the kind support we’ve received it is overwhelming. Please continue to respect our privacy & allow us to grieve.”
Ms Lewis also put out a statement on social media, appealing for information over her daughter’s death.
She said: “It is with unbearable sadness that I have to announce the sudden death of my beautiful, much adored daughter Natalie. I need your help. If Natty contacted you, by phone, text, messenger or any other means on Thursday evening 14th December between 20.00 and midnight please let me know through this page or contact A/Insp Jon Loudon at Essex Police incident no. 158. Any little scrap of information may be more relevant than you imagine.”
Ms Lewis added: “Her mobile phone is missing and may have been left on the 9.18 from Liverpool Street to Ipswich on Thursday evening. If you found an iPhone please hand it in quoting Essex Police incident 158. Natalie is my only child, my mini-me. Please help me find out what happened to her in the hours before her death.”
The final inquest was adjourned until a later date.
Local police told Al-Sahawat Times they are not ruling out suicide.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
