FAMILY TRAGEDY

Ice buckets were filled with bottles of wine, while beer and non-alcoholic beverages were strewn across the grounds that contained a swing, tennis court, fire pit, and large pool with attached hot tub. the investigation at Crawley Coroner’s Court.
Miss Uloth, who had not drunk alcohol, was soaking in the hot tub with two friends before going for a swim around 11pm.
Coroner Geoff Charnock said at the hearing: “In total, there were 19 people present at the barbecue which consisted of four families.
“During the course of the night there was music and everyone had fun in the warm weather.
“The other two girls stayed in the jacuzzi and were looking towards the port with their backs to the pool and they did not see where Honor was going.
His last day was spent riding polo ponies in the morning, seeing friends on the beach in the afternoon, and enjoying an evening with close friends and family over a delicious alfresco dinner. It was his perfect kind of day.
“A short time later, Honor’s brother was walking back to the hot tub … and he saw her lying on the bottom of the pool.
“He raised the alarm and rescued her from the pool. The adults began cardiopulmonary resuscitation while an ambulance was called.”
Miss Uloth was rushed to St Richard Hospital in Chichester before being transferred to St Thomas Hospital in London, where she died “quietly and peacefully” on 6 August.
Charnock said: “The police carried out an investigation … but no one saw what happened to Honor or knew how she came to be lying on the bottom of the pool.”
He said a police theory was that Miss Uloth had jumped off a rock used as a platform and somehow hit her head on it.
Another was that he slipped on the wet surface and hit his head, while a third theory suggested that he had jumped into the pool and then hit his head with a raised lip around the pool.
Senior Coroner Penelope Schofield said: “I have recorded a conclusion to the accident.”
