Tributes were paid to a "fit and healthy" schoolgirl died in her family kitchen after making herself chicken and nachos for dinner.
Abby Reese Beaumont made herself the meal at around 7pm after coming home from a normal day at school .
The 15-year-old, from Mold in North Wales, went up to her room afterwards and spent the evening lying on her bed and texting friends.
At around 11pm, Abby reportedly started coughing and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water before her dad claims she started calling out for her mum, Alison.
Abby's dad Darren ran to the kitchen and found his daughter collapsed on the floor with blood coming out of her nose and mouth.
According to North Wales Live , Alison called 999 while Abby's 13-year-old sister, Jessica, ran to the neighbours to get help.
Despite "massive efforts" from neighbours - two of whom were doctors and two had military medical training, as well as a swift response from ambulance crews - Abby went into cardiac arrest and died a short time later.
Abby had gone into cardiac arrest by the time the ambulance arrived at 11.28pm and CPR was being carried out by one of the neighbours.
An inquest at Mold County Hall on Tuesday heard how that Abby had no underlying medical conditions but suggested her lungs may have bled because of "obstruction by food particles" that could have been caused by stomach acid being brought back up and swallowed back down the wrong way.
A medical cause of death was given as "foreign body aspiration with massive pulmonary haemorrhage".
Recording a conclusion of accidental death, coroner for North Wales east and central, John Gittins said: "From the point when Abby collapsed in the kitchen there was no cardiac output and she remained Asystole throughout."
Paediatric pathologist, Dr Rajeev Shukla carried out a postmortem.
He added: "Meat, probably chicken has gone into her airways leading to a stress reaction...This was not a choking.
"She had her tea (three to four hours earlier) and no one expected anything of this nature to ever exist."
Addressing Abby's parents, he said: "This was an awful event that befell you and your family in relation to the loss of your lovely daughter.
"She was clearly a girl who was very cared for and loved.
"This was a very tragic scenario."
Paying tribute to his daughter after the inquest, Darren said: "Abby was a very grown up, mature lady for 15.
"Losing Abby was more like losing a friend for both of us. We had very adult conversations, she was very confident, outgoing and friendly.
"Abby had lots of friends but she was just as comfortable in her own company - she was quite happy being at home.
"She did well at school and loved languages such as French and German.
"We spent a lot of time in America as a family and Abby loved being there.
"She was just so full of life."
Speaking about the incident, the 51-year-old said: "It was a freak situation, but we as a family have always known it wasn't a choking episode, even though we waited for five months for any autopsy results.
"In that time, we questioned everything.
"Closure for me is knowing that it happened quickly before she left the house, she hadn't been poorly and we couldn't have had any more help or a quicker response on the night.
"Nothing more could have been done to save her.
"Everyone tried their best, it was just so sad and unfortunate."
Darren and Alison now have plans to set up an organisation to offer help and support for families who lose a child so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Darren added: "It's been a roller coaster experience.
"Losing a child is the worst thing anyone can go through and we want to be able to help people who find themselves in that situation to cope."
