‘We all cherished her, and she will always stay in our hearts and thoughts forever.
‘Mum, dad, and brother will never forget you. We as a family cannot come to terms with the loss of such a beautiful soul. We love you, Falaq.’
An inquest into Falaq’s death was formally opened by area coroner Catherine McKenna on Tuesday.
At the inquest opening, police coroner’s officer Ms Tracy Bunn said Falaq was admitted to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital after being brought in by her family after ‘complaining of feeling unwell’.
‘She began to vomit and became unresponsive,’ Ms Bunn said.
A CT scan was done and Falaq underwent emergency surgery, but she later passed away, the court heard.
The provisional cause of death was determined by forensic pathologist Dr Philip Lumb as hypnotic anoxic brain injury.
Area coroner McKenna said: ‘I am here this morning to open the inquest into the death of a young girl. I am really sorry you have lost your daughter this way.’ A date for the full inquest will be fixed at a later date.
