British actress Mya-Lecia Naylor was found hanged to death in April of this year, and now the South London Coroner’s Court has announced her official cause of death. According to TooFab.com, the 16-year-old did not mean to kill herself and her death was ruled death by misadventure.
According to the report, the actress was stressed over exams and was recently grounded and banned from attending a party.
“This is a form of accidental death. Death by misadventure indicates although the deceased deliberately carried out the acts, they did not intend to bring about their death,” the coroner said. “My conclusions are Mya-Lecia Naylor died at Croydon University Hospital from fatal pressure to her neck. I find she did not intend to her own life. By all probabilities, I find she died by misadventure.”
There were no drugs in her system at the time of her death. There had also been no signs of red flags on her social media accounts.

Mya-Lecia Naylor Cause of Death: Fatal Pressure on Neck/Misadventure
what are ya doing?Mya-Lecia Naylor took her own life in April 2019, but the coroners have determined her death was not intentional. Naylor’s body was found with fatal pressure to her neck but the coroner does not believe she intended to take her own life.
“She had not been her normal self … she was stressed about her exams,” Naylor’s father said, according to the Daily Mail. “She knew she needed to get on with her revision and she had plans scheduled out for her revision. 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.
“She was possibly trying to make a point. I honestly believe, maybe because she was grounded, but I believe she didn’t mean it. If she knew something different… unfortunately what she used worked very well. I don’t think she meant to do it. It was a spur of the moment.”
Our deepest condolences go out to Naylor’s family and friends during this difficult time.
