INQUEST: Windermere School A CORONER has questioned Windermere School over why they did not respond to a student's 'cry for help' just days before she hanged herself, an inquest heard. Fionnuala Ryan died in the Windermere area at the age of 14 on Friday, December 13, 2019. The safeguarding lead and deputy head of pastoral care at Windermere School Joanna Parry was quizzed by coroner Mr Andrew Tweddle over the school’s response after the student made a ligature which he deemed as a potential 'cry for help', Cockermouth Coroner's Court was told. This comes after Furzana Nazir, detective chief inspector at Cumbria Constabulary at the time of Fionnuala’s death, expressed her belief that quicker action should have been taken after the 14-year-old’s initial ligature.
