BBC children's TV star Mya-Lecia Naylor died 'by hanging' a coroner has ruled.
Mya-Lecia, who appeared in shows Millie Inbetween and Almost Never, tragically died at the age of 16 in April.
South London assistant coroner Toby Watkin has ruled that the teen dies by misadventure after hanging herself at her family home on April 7.
Mya-Lecia was found in a marquee at the address in South Norwood and emergency services were called to reports of a teenage girl in cardiac arrest at around 10am.
She was then pronounced dead at Croydon University Hospital shortly after 11.30am.
Mya-Lecia was due to sit her GCSEs that summer but her dad described her as "stressed" as she had a call from the school saying her grades were lower than expected.
Martin Naylor, told South London Coroners Court: "She had not been her normal self ... she was stressed about her exams.
"She knew she needed to get on with her revision and she had plans scheduled out for her revision."
Mr Naylor who saw the teenager on the morning of her death, believes it was a "silly mistake", despite her exam stress.
He said: "I honestly believe she was just making some sort of point.
"I genuinely believe she did not mean to do it.
"It was a silly spur of the moment thing.
"She clearly had plans for the future."
Watkin concluded that the teenager "did not intend to end her own life" and concluded her death was by misadventure.
A toxicology report revealed no evidence of drugs or alcohol in Mya-Lecia's system.
Searches of her phones, laptop, and social media accounts did not present anything suspicious.
The news of the young actress's death was announced by the CBBC earlier this year, describing her as "much loved" and "a hugely talented actress, singer and dancer."
The statement read: "We are so sorry to have to tell you that Mya-Lecia, who you will know from 'Millie Inbetween' and 'Almost Never' has, very sadly, died.
"Mya-Lecia was a much loved part of the BBC Children's family, and a hugely talented actress, singer and dancer.
"We will miss her enormously and we are sure that you will want to join us in sending all our love to her family and friends."
Celebrities and co-stars paid tribute to Mya-Lecia including I'm A Celebrity's Emily Atack who expressed her sadness at the tragic loss of a "beautiful girl".
Mya-Lecia's Millie Inbetween co-star Rhianna Meralls, also spoke of her shock adding that cast of the CBBC show were "heartbroken".
As well as appearing on the CBBC, Mya-Lecia also starred in the BBC series Absolutely Fabulous as Jane in 2004 and performed as part of the band Angels N' Bandits shortly before her death.
