A 12-year-old girl died after she was found hanged by a pink scarf attached to the top of a metal bunk bed at her Sneinton home, an inquest heard.
Resuscitation attempts had been made at the scene but Tasmia Haque died in hospital on October 2, 2019.
She had a prolonged period of lack of oxygen to the brain, resulting in an unsurvivable brain injury.
Doctor Elizabeth Didcock, assistant coroner, found that her death was not suspicious.
There was nothing to suggest third party involvement as she recorded a narrative conclusion at the hearing at the city's Council House.
"It's clear she put the scarf, tied to the bunk bed, around her neck," she said.
The coroner found that Tasmia had put a ligature around her neck previously, on September 26 last year, and had a video on her phone of herself putting the scarf around the neck, then removing it.
On September 30, a 30-second video was filmed in the bedroom of her with a pink scarf tied around the bunk bed and her putting the scarf around her neck, before she pulled herself up.
Detective Inspector Samantha Austin said Tasmia was known for pranking and had "liked pranking; making people think she was unwell and appear dead".
"We can prove on Tasmia's phone that she liked to prank," said Detective Inspector Austin.
She said there were pictures of her with makeup which made it appear she had bruising; to pretend she had been injured.
Police were told by people they spoke to she liked to prank "nothing sinister, she liked to prank," she added.
"It seemed part of her nature...like trying to be funny but what we do know there was sadness in her life".
There was no evidence that she was trying to look at suicide websites and self-harm websites.
There was no note of what she appeared she wanted to do, said the officer.
"We can show on those videos she has done it before and almost pushing herself to see how far she could go," added the officer. "Very distressing".
Social care were not involved at the time of Tasmia's death. There was some counselling at school. She was not on a child protection plan or child in need plan.
Doctor Didcock had asked Tasmia's mother: "Were you worried about her state of mind or how she felt?"
Her mum replied: "I had no concerns at all. Nothing".
