A schoolgirl threw herself in front of a train on the day she was due to receive the grades for her GCSEs, an inquest has heard.

Jasmine Bush was a passionate photography student and had previously told her grandfather that she wanted to know her photography grades before she took her own life.

The 16-year-old had been suffering with various mental health issues, including anxiety and had been on medication to help control the symptoms.

The inquest in Surrey heard from the blonde-haired teenager's mother, Nicky Bush who courageously told the jury of the horrific moment when she realised her daughter had fled the house - before receiving a message on Facebook that someone leapt in front of a train.

In an emotional address, which moved many of the jurors at Woking Coroner's Court to tears, Mrs Bush told the coroner that at this point she knew it was her daughter, following a lengthy period of severe mental health deterioration.

Jasmine, who went by the nickname of 'Jaz' had been locked in a long-running row with her family as she often insisted on living and sleeping in a makeshift bedroom in their garden shed, where she would take a mattress, listen to music and smoke marijuana.

Mrs Bush told the inquest in Woking that her daughter had been smoking the drug to help ease her severe anxiety symptoms, which spiralled out of control in weeks leading up to her GCSE results day on August 24 2017.

At around 4pm that day, police and paramedics were called to Haslemere train station in Surrey, where they found Jasmine's body after she had jumped in front of a train.

Jasmine had been suffering with severe depression and anxiety and was also diagnosed with pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and being on the autistic spectrum - issues triggered when she was a Year Nine pupil and just 13 years old.

Her mother told the coroner she became withdrawn in her teenage years and frequently used text messaging and social media to communicate with friends and family.

Mrs Bush said that her daughter's mental health began to slide during her teenager years and she made two attempts on her own life in the two years before her death.
