Inquest hears 11-year-old accessed suicide-related content on Discord

An inquest has heard that 11-year-old Mia Christopher, who died by suicide in July 2025, had accessed sexual and suicide-related content on Discord, which is intended for users aged 13 and over. Her family said she had been bullied, citing a note she left, and the hearing is examining the circumstances of her death and the online material she encountered.

Mia had also used TikTok and Snapchat, and the inquest was told she posted inappropriate content on TikTok and repeatedly wrote on Discord about intending to take her own life. The coroner may name Discord as an interested party and call a representative to give evidence; the school, Sussex Police and West Sussex social services are also expected to provide evidence. Mia was a pupil at Southway Primary School in Bognor Regis and died on the first day of the summer holidays.
