A young schoolgirl practised gymnastics in her bedroom before taking her own life in the bathroom, an inquest was told.
Alicia Tall, 11, was born in St Denis, Paris, but moved to Britain eight years ago.
The youngster had been practising her gymnastics in the bedroom she shared with her sister in May this year when she went into the bathroom.
When Alicia - the third of four daughters - did not come out after some time her sister went in and found her.
She and her mother called 999 and tried to revive her.
Medics were soon on the scene and transported her to Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, but doctors declared her dead an hour later.
Her parents, Illa Tall and Jennifer Newman from Northfleet, Kent, called her a “lovely girl” and said they could not understand what happened.
The only clue came in a post mortem examination which found historic self-harm marks.
It also found she had not consumed any alcohol or drugs.
Coroner Alan Blunsden concluded even though she left no suicide note, Alicia had deliberately taken steps to end her own life.
He said: "She was a bright girl and would have known that her actions were likely to result in her death.
“But in this case there were none of the usual indications of low mood, and no prior indication that she intended to take her life.”
Police carried out investigations at her school, with her family, with her GP and of her computer tablet.
They found no evidence of any abuse or bullying, and no evidence that she had been visiting harmful websites.
She was said to be a happy and cheerful outgoing girl from a loving family.
Speaking after the inquest her father Illa told the KM: "She was a lovely girl. She loved her gymnastics. There was nothing wrong.
“We just can't understand why it happened."
