Cause of death of Eton College pupil, 15, found lifeless in his boarding house is still a mystery, inquest is told
The investigation stated that the cause of death of a 15-year-old Eton College student, who was found lifeless in his hostel, remained a mystery.
Isaac Edison Albrow Stringer was found dead on the morning of February 27 at the prestigious boarding school Godolphin House in Windsor.
Berkshire’s senior coroner Heidi Connor told the hearing: ‘The exact cause of death has not been determined at this time and Isaac has been returned to his family for burial.
‘We are in the process of taking statements.
‘Hearings will be postponed while these investigations continue.’
Ms Connor concluded the brief hearing by expressing her ‘sincerest condolences to Isaac’s family at this sad time’.
A preliminary investigation hearing will be held at a later date that has not yet been confirmed.
Last month, a spokesman for Eton, where fees are around £63,000 a year, said: ‘It is with great sadness that Eton College can confirm that one of our children has died at the school.
