Death of Eton College pupil, 15, still mystery, inquest hears

The cause of death of a 15-year-old Eton College pupil who was found lifeless in his boarding house remains a mystery, an inquest has been told. 

Isaac Edison Albrow Stringer was found dead at the prestigious boarding school's Godolphin House in Windsor on the morning of February 27.

Heidi Connor, the senior coroner for Berkshire, told the hearing: 'The precise cause of death has yet to be determined at this time, and Isaac has been returned to his family for (the) funeral.

'We are in the process of obtaining statements.

'While those investigations are taking place, the proceedings will be adjourned.'

Mrs Connor ended the brief hearing by expressing her 'most heartfelt condolences to Isaac's family at this sad time'.

A pre-inquest hearing will take place at a later date, which has yet to be confirmed.

Last month, a spokesperson for Eton, where fees are around £63,000 per year, said: 'It is with the greatest sadness that Eton College can confirm that one of our boys has died while at school.

'Our priority is to support his family and respect their privacy, as well as to support his friends and the wider school community and therefore we will be making no further statement at this time.'

The all-boys school has 1,345 pupils aged between 13 and 18.

They are accommodated in their own rooms within 25 boarding houses, described on Eton's website as 'caring communities that put kindness and empathy at the heart of their ethos'.

It's famous former pupils include Prince William and Prince Harry as well as Boris Johnson and actor Tom Hiddleston.
