A teenage girl died from oxygen deprivation after eating pizza and chips then going swimming, an inquest has heard.

Lucy Reed, 15, went to Cleethorpes for a day trip with her mother Liz and a friend when the tragic incident struck in June 2023.

They went for an early lunch at a local restaurant and her mother urged her to wait a while to allow her food to settle before going in for a swim. But shortly after she insisted on going for a swim before boarding the coach home.

Lucy went with her friend near Cleethorpes Pier while her mother went for a walk. They had arranged to meet back near the pier a short time later.

But when she failed to turn up, a major search and rescue operation was launched for Lucy, from Gainsborough, after her mother alerted authorities and called 999.
